However, that doesn't change what the late president did.

Those don't sound Somali, even remotely. For instance, lion is known as liibaax. The closest word to "Ar" is ari, and it means goat. Spit in Soomaali means candhuuf (the letter dh is totally different from t). I have never heard or read Neder; it sounds European. Ayah in Egyptian sounds grasshopper in Soomaali.

No. There's nothing to be proud about the ancient Egyptians or their civilization.

Are you saying the similarities are a source of pride and the world ought to respect Somalis 'cause of their relationship to ancient Egyptians? Maybe Somalis were the original ancient Egyptians?

Taking a couple of letters (i.e. ra) from a word (i.e. qorax) to claim similarities doesn't work. If that's how things are done, the English or any other language could claim similarities to the ancient Egyptian language. I hate to disappoint your newfound pride in some similarities, but here you go:
Written records of the ancient Egyptian language have been dated from about 3200 BC. Egyptian is part of the Afro-Asiatic group of languages and is related to Berber and Semitic (languages such as Arabic, Amharic and Hebrew).

However, you have pride in your knowledge of the Somali language. If someone doubts your knowledge of the language, you get offended, and might engage in a fight.

This mummy from the central Saharan culture was prepared in a sophisticated manner a thousand years before the first mummy was created in Egypt. This culture also had a jackal-headed god and a cattle cult comparable to that later found in the Nile valley. This culture was spread completely across north Africa, becoming the Cushites. They spread to the periphery and especially the river valleys as the Sahara dried up.

The 22nd and 23rd Egyptian dynasties, whose mummies look most like Somalis, came from this area of Libya. Both Somali and Coptic, as well as Berber, Oromo, Afar, Rendille and Amhara, are all Cushitic, in some way related to this early culture.

"Unusually for this family, Somali has 20 separate vowel sounds. It also has four tones which indicate gender, number and case.

This language family originated in the Sahara area before it became a desert and spread to the Horn of Africa, North Africa and the Middle East. During the 7th Century AD, Arabic spread from the Arabian Peninsula with Islam to cover most of North Africa and the Middle East."
