Idiom
"When you are dressing a blind man, you are his mirror."

Tiv mba er injakwagh ne u tesen u sõron anngbyan jime. Zum u anngbyan alu nengen kwagh u u lu eren sha ci na ga la, ka u er sha mimi.

The literal meaning is that when you help a blind person put on their clothes, you become the only "mirror" they have. Since the blind person cannot see their appearance, they must rely entirely on the person assisting them to ensure they are dressed properly, neatly, and appropriately.
