You must have heard CANTALAAHI and took it as cantalyaa.

btw, look at lamgoodle calling it "xantalaay".

Re: what's the somali name of this birds
Where are you pulling these names from?Lamgoodle wrote:Daiman, some somali words for animals are common while others depend on local names;daiman wrote:Horta bal hela the answer in somaliyou do not even know what this kind of bird is called in Somali?
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.
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

Squirrel = dabangaale

Re: what's the somali name of this birds
qoleey is not as same as duck. it is pigeon.

Re: what's the somali name of this birds
Zingi, a beloved animal has many names;
It is called qodoow by farmers, uun rees by city folks, dabagaale (not dabangaale)
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

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.
