Question of the Week

[Lamagoodle]

LJ, gartay. I meant the big one saaxib.

What did you call it in Xamar? I guess Habar JInni, right?

I think the dictionary word is Maseey ruug i.e. the NFD version.

Riyo Nuug
the smaller one Qoroto

Qoroto , mulac/bulac are the small ones.

Riyo Nuug, Maseey ruug, mas xagalo (mas xagal leh), Habar jinni are some of the names.

"C" like Mas Cagaley

[Lamagoodle]

No Xagal ; angel ; when it is moving it forms the shape of a right angel.

That is what I think but I could be wrong. In the NFD we call it Mas Xagalo or Maseey ruug,.

[Daff]

It is also called Abeeso lugoleey. We can't even agree on a single name, every tuulo has a name for it

[Bella18]

Mas cagaleey it is
Lama, "X" meeshaad ka keentay garan meyno

To me is Maskii cagaha lahaa. Mas-cagaley.

[LeJusticier]

Lama, "X" meeshaad ka keentay garan meyno

waa caynkaas

That one too saaxib.

Actually, Abeeso lugoleey, mas xagaleey, maseey ruug and riyo nuug are all the somali names.

Habar Jinni is a new entrant.

Daff,
What about the squirrel?

I am fascinated by the idea that this animal is called by different names;

Qodoow
Uun reeys
Daba gaale
Tukulush.

Qodoow is used in southern Ethiopia, the NFD, Gedo and some parts of Jubbooyinka.

Tukulush is only used in Banaadir and coastal cities.

Essence; ma ogi meeshaan ka keenay. I have seen ppl use that; I think it is the shape of its legs when it is moving; Xagal=angle

I could be wrong though. Meel libax soo galey lo' ma joogeeyso; so I guess you and LJ are right

But look it as Angle=xagal and you might undertand.

[Daff]

LamaG I know it as Uunreys. Dabagale i know from text books and I think Qodoow is different it is called faranfar. Nver heard Tukulush

LOL@@@@@ Faranfar. I have not heard that words in ages.

Tukulush is a coastal city word; Banaadir, Marko all the way to Baraawe. Ask kids from Xamar.

Dabagaale (notice the long vowel to avoid anus penetrating)is the official one. I think Uun reeys is a foreign word. I use Qodoow myself.

[Daff]

loool too lazy to write aaaa. Faranfar creepy looking thing, stays underground, and looks blind.

Wrong

Dabo tail Gaale = Geel"Camel"

[Lamagoodle]

LOL LJ, he wrote Dabogale.

I was correcting him. It should be Gaale.

I thought TAIL= Seen

I was also wrong; dabo could mean almost everything including the buttock ...

P.s. Gaale mean; pointing.

[Bella18]

LJ seef la bood baad noqotay, mar kale ku noqo
Sidaad mooday maaha.

Dabagaale iyo dabagale. Hal "A" makes a massive difference yacni lol
