DESIGN HISTORY
Ɔkɔtɔ nwo anomaa
Literally: A crab does not give birth to a bird.
Moral: This is used to acknowledge the resemblance between a child and his parent. The resemblance could be in physical features or character. It is similar to the English saying, “The apple does not fall far from the tree.”

Anomaa antu a, ɔbua da
Literally: If a bird does not fly, it goes to bed hungry.
Moral: You must take action if you want to make a living. It could also be understood as “Nothing ventured, nothing gained” for the bird takes a risk by flying, yet, it needs to do that before it can have any hope of getting food to eat.

After Dorothea Maria Gsell
