having large ears, elephant

a triton among the minnows, a mediocrity among fools easily becomes their leader

fillet the lighter end of kite-rib

risky task is fraught with pitfalls

state of being near-death

to keep shoes safely

whispering

to wittingly put off something

hold ribs of paper-kite to help someone fly it

the power (of a person) to submit (to, that of another)

(of rice) be almost but not fully boiled

malice, enmity

pain felt near death, the agonies of death

after all boasting three aces, show off a lot

be under someone's pressure

pass forty consecutive days in fasting and worship in seclusion

whispering, whispered word, tales, intrigue
