English
(proverb) Like a god that has dirty cloth hung over him.
Emper-emper are strips of dirty cloth that are used to fence in an area, on the theory that nobody would walk under dirty clothes. Sometimes used as a scarecrow. Ungkulin means to hang over something.
If you hang emper-emper over a god, he will never come close to you. This refers to someone who is always distant and never friendly. It is also used as a moral for children: never put emper-emper over a shrine.Indonesian
