In addition, the researcher conducted interviews with three Toba native speakers including the researcher himself, and a Batak-Toba linguist. The results showed that there was 33 lexicon used in Toba Batak proverbs. The animal lexicon consists of mammals (46%), birds (27%), insects (14%), fish (10%), and amphibians (1%).
