[quote="PINK_BUNNY"]^^^^I thought so, I was just makin sure. Now who are these ppl and why do they have that name? Also what does Qaldaan mean?[/quote]

Ilkayar is supposed to be an insult for Mareehaan.

Qaldaan are northerners, they came to the south and people said there speech is qalad, thus were called qaldaan

[quote="FAH1223"][quote="Shirib"]^^^They have small teeth duhhhh

Cagdheer have long legs[/quote]

who you kidding? i seen some of them and they have HUGE teeth!

stupid generalizations![/quote]

All reer xamar aren't cad cad either

[quote="Shirib"]Cagdheer have long legs[/quote]

lol...misconception. Ogaadeen are called Cagdheer, because of their nomadic lifestyle; constantly moving around and inhabiting different regions.

My feet aren't that long; size 11.

Pink-Bunny,

Trust Shirib, its an inappropriate word!

faysal if u see a sade with long teeth, his a sheegato..........our trademark is the small teeth, even I have to cut down my sandwich into many pieces.

Pinky:

laan = branch

gab+ short

langaab = shortbranch


meaning small qabiil who didnt grow as much as other braches (qabiil) in the same tree.

Stick with Advo's defenition, mine was different.

"meaning small qabiil who didnt grow as much as other braches (qabiil) in the same tree."

Shirib, is this the correct definition? Cause this really isn't inappropriate. Just give me the damm meaning....Seriously.

Ask Koronto, after Advo gave the defenition, I'm thinkin mine might be wrong. If he thinks what I'm thinkin is right then I'll tell u

all of these names came from the ogaden..our elders had a good sense of humor.

me personally i love the term cagdheer,it can only mean two things.
1-that we have long feet
2-that we traveled long distances
