nah dude, it was a mistake

nop its wasn't a mistake in fact it was a setup, that fool the Screw based my banning on 4 years old relgious debate when he was asked as to the reason of my banning.

Some of those words aren't exclusive words for camels; it's words that describe something about camels, other animals, human beings, etc. For instance, duq and qaan describe the age. So, some of those aren't words for camels.

geel "camel"

46 words for camel.

what do they call a crazy camel like zoomalis?

1 word to describe x.playa -> miyi

Nabela,

Most of the words you regard as common words originated in camel-husbandery, for instance Dhocil has its origin in camels and then it was applied to humans, even names such as Good and Sulub were camel names that were adopted to humans.

Maxamed Ibnu Harti,

your an expert at walking from a watering hole to the next and back. habar yoonis are the designated bush people of the isaaq clan confederation.

Tarditionaly Mareexaans had more cows then camels just like the Hawiye, its your enviroment that decides what animal your choose to raise not your fashion.

Dhabayaco,

You got that right kid , once we ranged from your Dhabayco regions of Galaadi to southern Awaare and even passed your Dhabayco south and reached the Mareexaan in western Hiiraan 1927.

Now tell us about your Fish culture, how many sea-roaches you people eat and what are their names?

XPlaya,
