Dhagar is old word and you'll rarely find any modern SOmali using it irrespective of region/dialect. Most Somalis instead use Laqdabo or the Arabic khiyaamo. You'll find Dhagar mostly in old Gabays which is where I learned it from. Ditto Nacab... most Somalis use Caddow or Col. Never heard of Horaado before today.
