Gadac is smaller than the rubac and was used for either Gas or cooking saliid.
Cawar, Oh I see. Imma add a few then:
Garangar:
Qadaanqat:
Digiiran:
LOL. A Random combo I know, but halaga soo jawaabo and we'll go from there to bigger ones.


...Even worse...
Garangar sounds like Jaranjaro = stairs....
Qadaanqat sounds like some sort of food, Lol....
Forget about the last, unless u mean Digir....
I started 2 doubt whether all these words are actually Somali, or this could be some sort of "language barrier" between us (due 2 the diverse accents, Lol)....
lol. No wallahi wii jiraan.
Ok Imma explain:
Garangar: = A wheel
Qadaanqat = Back of the neck
Digiiran: A deer (the animal) in somali

lool. Maya, qoorta iyo qadaanqadka are two different things. Qadaanqadka is usually where the hairline ends on the head, right before the back of the neck starts. Your hair goes from the forhead to the qadaanqat. (I hope my illustration is helping

). A typical somali barbershop terminology waaye, too.
"saaxiibow, qadaanqadka hal mar ii marsii" LOL. Like when men are getting a fade or something. lol
buhodleGirl: Segci iyo nus. Wait until we get to them dirty words, hehe
Cawar:
tiftif = snitch
