The sky is not considered holly in Rom. Is just used as a menance.. "Nu
ti-e fricã cã o sã cazã cerul pe tine ?" ( Are you not afraid the sky
will fall down on you?). The same is used the earth. "Sa-l
înghitã/mânânce pãmântul" (The earth should eat/swallow him)

P.S. literary there is "cadã" and not "cazã"; "cazã" is a particularity
of my region.
