Haaa lax is an ewe!
What does this line of a hees hawleed mean:
Goolku waa seedo
All of those words are used for a Scorpion...and Liqaaye, that bug is a 'doorshaan'.

That isn't xaar walaal LiQaaye. Xaar walwaal is Dung Beetle isn't it, its a little different than that it looks like this
Hangaraale = Daboqalooc = Scorpion
Hangaraarac = Millipede,,Skippa
Cinjir is elastic
Xinjir is blood clot
Injir is Lice
Wan = Ram,, Gedo Girl
Lax is Basra.
Mas Lugaley and Cagaley, same thing.

Yes brother Gats, a centipede or millipede would give that proverb some sense.

I could be wrong but I think a vulture is called "yili"...there's also one smaller bird called "gogori" which is like a wild hen or something
