Go slowly

 In Tibet, a common way of saying farewell is (or was–I think there are more Chinese speakers now) apparently Kale Pheb, which means “go slowly”, to which the reply is Kale Ju, which means “stay (or sit) slowly.”

I may try and import this.

This is from Alexandra David Neel’s marvelous account of her journey to Lhasa in the 1920’s.
