@ Abdiwahab
Kukri,
Habaryar somehow seems like something I say to women who are related to my mom, but I guess its different with different households.

Habaryar macaan, I always add the macaan to habaryar or eedo. They love that.
I never call anyone else hooyo but my own mother, even when they say hooyo or maamo to me.
