Jufo mici dheer is the other one? This one is in northeastern of Ogadenia, on the road between Aw-barre and Wajalle. It is a tall mountain with a peak on top of it. Its peak looks like canine teeth, hence the name.

Jufo also means more than 2 Jilibs.

As for the topic, Tallo is right. Gedoweb had it yesterday. But they must have edited.

Thug, is that mountain or hill part of a range? If so, it would make sense since. Also jili is a sub group of a jufo.

PO, to me the literal meaning of Jilib means the knee, and Jufo means more than two knees. For example, when a mother tells her daughter "naa lugaha is ku juf", she meant to say bring the two knees together.

There you go with the origins of the two words. :P

:lol: :lol: @"Naa dhi-dhibso"

Thug, I'm familiar with that one as well. Somali is indeed quite rich language. There are lot of ways to get your message. So lets not restrict it to certain villages. :lol:
