Some other suggestions:
here are some "mountain" sayings, while on the subject (but not related
to the molehill series):
Dongra-voilim fulam dev shimpta
Heaven waters the mountain flowers (the hardy are blessed)
Ilem ilem punji kelear, dongor zata
If you build a heap little by little, it will grow into a mountain
Moddvollachem sunnem nhoim ghorchem, nhoim gantthachem
The washerman's dog belongs neither to his house nor to the mountains
Dhazanancho sangat korcho nhoim, koroddachea ujeak shek-chem nhoim
Don't keep too many friends, don't stoke a fire of dry mountain grass
(it may engulf your own house).
All courtesy Valmiki Faleiro's collection. Watch for his book when it
hits the stands... (some months away).
IRENE: ...gettin back to d mountain n molehill.. i suppose there is one
like ottiachem (as in elephant) goddo (horse) korta .. but a frd says
its vice versa.. goddaichem otti (excuse my spellin pls) .. hav u heard
of tis proverb..
EDWARD VERDES: Kaddiecho Dongor Korop...making a mountain of a match
stick??????
RABINDRA PIMENTA: Edward is quite right! @Irene: "Making a mountain out
of a molehill" = Kaddiecho dogor korop! It is usually used to denote an
exaggerated account of small/little things.....to be more precise...
"Kaddiecho dogor korta."

Dear Joel,
That is the equivalent of the proverb that goes "The mountain laboured and
produced a mouse."
Regards,
Victor
