Someone submitted this missing proverb:
Tuich el kelulau: Ouerrong (ouuerabek) ra beluu ma rechad. A ta ra tekoi a kmo: Ng orimel el teletael luldimukl ra ulecheracheb ma ulekdakd. Tuich el kelulau (English): To force and intimidate people and Beluu. Strategy deviced by force, false accusation and intimidation. One of the 7 arts and techniques of Palauan Kelulau ( Whispers).
We have another similar proverb:
Tuich el kelulau e loubuch ra calm. Which is about compromise.
Are there 5 more of these? These are awesome. This is the Palauan 'Art of War'! Very cool. Where can we find them? Is Sim on here? Maybe the museum has these? Apparently they might have been catalogued by John Useem in 1949! Can anyone help find this book? https://books.google.com/books/about/Report_on_Palau.html?id=1nyqnQAACAAJ

Hey John,
It looks like UC Berkeley has a copy in their library. I'll add this to the list of things I'll look for on my next trip there. (I try to go a couple of times a year.)
If you want it sooner, other libraries have it too and you can order it through inter-library loan from your local library probably: http://www.worldcat.org/title/report-on-palau/oclc/8535563

Thanks Justin. I have requested it through my local library interlibrary
loan. They're normally pretty awesome so I'm guessing they'll come through
once again; they've helped find a ton of our books so far. (hmmm, I should
probably acknowledge them somewhere...)

All,
Do these seem correct:
Thanks,
John
