horta in somali ma shimbir baad ugu yeedhi laheyd mise haad? because to me, shimbiraha waa kuwa yar-yar. kuwan waa haad. I think, it is not gorgor.
Daiman, some somali words for animals are common while others depend on local names;
for instance the night lizard is known as MAS XAGALEEY, HABAR JINI or Abeeso lugooleey

In the same token the squirrel (sic) is known as QODOW; UUN REES, TUKULUSH.The bird is called xantalaay in somali

Gutaale, true he said that but gorgor haada could also mean flying vulture because vultures fly too :lol:
Where are you pulling these names from? :lol:

Squirrel = dabangaale :up:

Zingi, a beloved animal has many names;
It is called qodoow by farmers, uun rees by city folks, dabagaale (not dabangaale) :lol: by the nomads, tukulush by the sea/river people. Believe me.

The same thing applies to the big lizard; mas xagaley, habar jini, abeeso lugooleey.

About the bird; I think it is xantalaay and not Cantalaay :lol: :lol:

P.s. Waryaa ma soo weydisay?

I called an expert on the poems of Sayid Maxamed (he is a scholar) and he affirmed my thesis; the Sayid was so angered by some somalis that he equated them with vultures ready to feed on baqti.
