Translation:
A relative is a scar.
Postproverbial:
Shaar met mmii.
Translation:
A friend is better than a relative.
Comments:
A scar is symbolic of permanency, hence this proverb literally means once you are bound by blood, it cannot be altered. However, the postproverbial affirms a stronger bond in friendship: “What a friend can do for you, a relative may not do”.
