s. f. obl. hellí, pl. hilláṇ. (M.), ) A kite; also the kite is represented in songs and proverbs as the personification of greediness:—hil hil áp kháṇdí roṭíáṇ paí kúṇ ḍendí ḍílh. The kite eats up the bread herself, and gives the clods to her husband.—Prov. in use among boys:—jitháṇ koí bakrí kuhṇde mulláṇ wáṇg hilíṇ de bhoṇde, sirí páwe ṭhuk banáe. Wherever people are killing a goat, there the mulláṇs collect like kites, and claim the head and feet as their due.—Song on the avarice of mulláṇs.
