Translation of "snail" into Shona

The combination of pigments from various murex sea snails could produce shades and colors ranging from royal purple to blue to crimson red.

Hozhwa dzomugungwa dzemhando dzakasiyana-siyana dzaibudisa dhayi yaisanganiswa pobuda madhayi epepuru, bhuruu uye akatsvuka kuti piriviri.

This recalls the proverb, “If it were left to only the snail and the tortoise, there would be no gunshot in the bush.”
