selamat Aforki, Kibreab, Paulos we gedim:-

Here come the answers
>Here are more words to solve:-

71. belaI reKiba = temerEya; seb'ay reKiba::" belaI" is nothing but a husband. "belaI yfTerelki"
is a divine blessing to our sisters.

72. zblaE ngeruna = zKewn: zewaS'e ngeruna (ab waga-Edaga)

73. af katm (not afka tm ;-)) = melkENa

74. Tyt zKone qolA = Hawi-Hawi zChenu: nTuf qolA (also krbit)

75. SeyaQi maESid = b'ewan ASid zmeS'e znab

76. mdri zebiTu = zgebere gieru: ab zey'eto atyu

77. wedi rubay (very old exp. not relevant now) = wedi Adey

79. qobE seQila = felisa: menkWisa: (also "dengila") But "dengila" also means "she got fed up"

80. idey idka enabelna = teHagagizna::

81. afka'sAr = kem zbelkayo ygbero::

PS. John I got your message. Since my English is not that good,
it would be hard for me to translate the Tigrinya idiomatic expressions
Besides, it would sound ridiculous. Believe me I am not pulling your leg:-).
But I will try.

Rgds,

Abraham
