Cursing in Sherpa

Going through the recently published Sherpa-English dictionary looking for volitional / non-volitional verb sets before next week's trip to Khumbu / Everest region, I found this nice little curse in Sherpa:


རྨིག་དུང་རྐྱའུ།
(mīkdung gyau)

The translation: 'May you be buried in a hole!'

I suppose not all of us can get a decent sky burial.
