anchor (v.)

kore (v.) → anchor, implant, embed, protect

I am well anchored.
Mwen byen kore.

The cow feet stew fortified me.  I feel I have the strength of 10,000 men.
Bouyon pye bèf  la byen kore m. Mwen santi m dimil òm. (popular saying in Haiti)

He strenghtens me so that I don't fall.
Li kore m pou m pa tonbe.

You are well rooted in Christianity.
Ou byen kore nan Levanjil la.


Does anyone remember this song? (Wane, Carrefour 1978 kay sè Lamontay :)

Chè Senyè, Chè Senyè!
Dear Lord, Dear Lord!
Kore m pou m pa tonbe!
Anchor me so that I don't fall!
Tè Ayiti se tè glise.
Haiti's land is a slippery land.
Kore m pou m pa tonbe!
Anchor me so that I don't fall!
Tè Ayiti se tè modi.
Haiti's land is cursed land.
Kore m pou m pa tonbe!
Anchor me so that I don't fall!
