Abstract
Writing about Lahu proverbs and sayings, James Matisoff (2011: 303) remarks that comparative work on proverbial wisdom in a variety of Tibeto-Burman languages would be fascinating. The Wa material here is presented in such a way to allow direct comparison with Lahu as a small first contribution toward such a comparison. Like Lahu, Wa is very much within the Sinosphere, and all the Wa material presented here has come to light through Chinese sources, as did much of the Lahu data assembled by Matisoff (2011).
