SomaliNet Forums

They really do confuse me. Especially in the labb/dhig form (masculine/feminine). It's quite annoying since all Somali stories by elders involve animals.
I want to learn them so can you please add to what you know so the end product is a comprehensive list. Thanks in advance.

1.Cow= Loh

Geel= Camel
Awr= She camel (i think)

Ri'= goat

I know some other's but they have totally escaped me know.

Diibi=Bull

The easiest thing would be you list the ones you want in English and with that everyone who knows their Somali translation will help you.

a few corrections narc,
Lo' means cattle. The cow is called sac, the she-camel is hal and the male is awr...Geel denotes a group of camel which consisting of male/female or both

I thought you left Somalinet for good and was never coming back? Why the sudden change of heart?

Did you realize the Somalinet is your true sanctuary from the harsh realities of life? Finally you might have grasped that your narcissistic traits were unsustainable in reality and a personal overhaul was needed; firstly starting with your online persona.

Welcome back, but I do ensure you that your stay isn't necessarily welcomed but rather loathed.

Idol

Twist, not a bad idea....

Hen/Rooster =
Sheep/Ewe
Lion/Lioness=
Fox/Vixen =
Rabbit =
Rat=
Mouse =

Girafe

P.s can we keep it strictly educational
