        <h3>Contributions</h3>
        <p>Have a proverb, name, or piece of cultural context we have missed? Send it our way with a note on the language, region, and meaning. We credit contributors where they would like to be credited.</p>

        <h3>Something else entirely</h3>
        <p>A question, a memory, a name you were given as a child, a proverb your grandmother used to say. If it is about culture, language, or heritage, we are interested.</p>
