Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Okay, I am going for a simple Indonesian one:
Patah tumbuh hilang berganti
(I think it's valid for Malaysian too)
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Without using my brain I'm guessing tumbuh has something to do with growth and hilang has something to do with absence of something.
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo No-brainer? http://youtu.be/3teflb1QNN4 :P
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Yeap, indeed it is

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Sadly it is not the case for dead languages...
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Vincensiu Denis, but at least there is a new language, Light Warlpiri
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo My scheduled computer lockdown will begin in another minute, Vincensiu Denis, be the royal Indonesian judge and hint-giver for this round. I will see you all in about 12 hours from now...
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter

Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Uhm... Guys?
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Well, given the lack of anything:
Patah tumbuh hilang berganti

A plant that grows without anything withers/

Maleen Schlüter
Maleen Schlüter http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Patah According to that entry, gunung patah means 'broken mountain', so patah = broken?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo (just got back from a long road trip, hence my unusual activity time)

Yeap, patah is broken
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo So we've got:
patah=broken
tumbuh=grows
hilang=disappeared (a.k.a, absence of)
berganti=? :D

(guess the pattern)
Maleen Schlüter
Maleen Schlüter Hmm. Something like 'A broken thing grows, a disappeared thing comes back'? (pure guessing)
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter ooops OMG, I made a mistake...
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter still incorrect unfortunately :S
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter the first part is correct, but " disappeared thing comes back " is still incorrect
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Something like comes back, but not exactly that :P
Maleen Schlüter
Maleen Schlüter http://lyricstranslate.com/de/berganti-hati-change-heart.html found this! so 'a disappeared thing changes'?
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter hmmm... ganti does mean changes
but not quite right in this context...
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter broken things grow, but how about disappeared/missing things???
Maleen Schlüter
Maleen Schlüter they reappear...are found...not change but change their direction maybe (so that they come back)?
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter yup. you got it reappear or replaced :)
