there is one who may defend that person more than his brothers (might) do.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “There are certain friends
who destroy one another.
and there are certain friends
who are even closer than the closest kin.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “There are friendship that does- not -last-long, but there is also friendship that is more intimate/closer than the siblings/(brother-or-sister).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
