Postproverbial:
Kũhoya ti, kũthirĩrwo/ kwag
Translation:
Begging is not poverty
Comments:
While the original proverb justifies begging, the postproverbial dignifies it because it is does not signify lack. This is so because none has everything or nothing. Hence, metaphorically, one will be seen to beg or seek what they lack
