Somali Animal Names

Post by Narcissistic »

They really do confuse me. Especially in the labb/dhig form (masculine/feminine). It's quite annoying since all Somali stories by elders involve animals. :shock: :?
I want to learn them so can you please add to what you know so the end product is a comprehensive list. Thanks in advance. :D :up:

1.Cow= Loh

Geel= Camel
Awr= She camel (i think)

Ri'= goat

I know some other's but they have totally escaped me know. :| :x :x

The easiest thing would be you list the ones you want in English and with that everyone who knows their Somali translation will help you. :up:

I thought you left Somalinet for good and was never coming back? Why the sudden change of heart? :down:

Did you realize the Somalinet is your true sanctuary from the harsh realities of life? Finally you might have grasped that your narcissistic traits were unsustainable in reality and a personal overhaul was needed; firstly starting with your online persona.

Welcome back, but I do ensure you that your stay isn't necessarily welcomed but rather loathed. :lost:
