  • Newari: “A whore can be bought
    for the price of a piece of bread.
    But you cannot make
    an adulterous woman your own
    even if you pay everything you own.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Having-sex with a woman who sells her body can-be-paid with the price of bread, but having-sex with the wife of others you (sing.) will-pay by your (sing.) own life.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
