Jufo mici dheer is the other one? This one is in northeastern of Ogadenia, on the road between Aw-barre and Wajalle. It is a tall mountain with a peak on top of it. Its peak looks like canine teeth, hence the name.

Jufo also means more than 2 Jilibs.

As for the topic, Tallo is right. Gedoweb had it yesterday. But they must have edited.

Thug, is that mountain or hill part of a range? If so, it would make sense since. Also jili is a sub group of a jufo.

PO, to me the literal meaning of Jilib means the knee, and Jufo means more than two knees. For example, when a mother tells her daughter "naa lugaha is ku juf", she meant to say bring the two knees together.

There you go with the origins of the two words.

That was posted on gedoweb..I read it and was so annoyed then they edited it. Juffo means bigger sub clan..jilib is the closer sub-sub-sub clan

Farancab that's the one Juffu Micidheer
Annaku waxaanu nidhaa "Naa dhi-dhibso"
PO: Not sure 100% if it's a part of a range but I think you might be right

@"Naa dhi-dhibso"

Thug, I'm familiar with that one as well. Somali is indeed quite rich language. There are lot of ways to get your message. So lets not restrict it to certain villages.
