sacad is arabic name just like some of the asaxaaba were named that. The two leaders of ansaar (aws and qasraj were named sacad) and some arabic tribes are caled sacad.

foolculus means big fore head, fool which is on the face + culus=heavy

murusade are not called afarqooble its just caay.

the rest of the names are animals.

I think when Faarax Sheeko asked about the "Dameeryahan" He heard about "Deerayahan"!

Shirshoore, quote " Deeryahan(Jesus Moses)..

LOL at first I was like what on earth is he talking about? Then I remembered that you meant...Ciise Muse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this city where I live they are known as Jesus Moses.

"Eida Gale --worms" Never heard of it

"yeah deeryahan are reer waaqoyis. i never knew what it is." Deer is a type of gazelle.
