Another try: "The leper sits/ On his royal chair: Is it a pineapple?

Another one: Here is leather/ Covered by leather:/ Shoes wrap my feet; don't they?

A sirandann' is a riddle; it goes like this, for instance: Can you guess what it is: A source is hanging high up on the tree? The answer being: "an orange!". So, a Questionku based upon this sirandann' would be, for instance: That source hanging / High up on the tree/ Isn't it an orange?"

I can answer yes to the first one but not sure the meanings of hainten and sirandann to answer the second two!

A sirandann' is a riddle; please, see above. And a "hainten" is a poem built upon images and proverbs to present two characters discussing like in a theatre The short play may deal about love and hatred or erotic love or any other subject presenting emotions.

I'm happy that someone reacts to these two malagasy words, dear Andrea! Now I can add the explanation because someone got really interested and asked about the meanings. I'll give some examples next time, I promise. Lots of hugs!
