Somali word game

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

Ok let me see;


Bari - That's easy. Bari means tomorrow. And what happens tomorrow? The sun rises. And where does the sun rise from? The East, Hence Bari = East

Waqooyi - Waaq a pre-islamic deity. Ooyi meaning ooy/oohi maybe? For some reason some pagan god cried in the north. Maybe they thought the red sea was his tears or something.

GalBeed - Gal means go inside. Beed means egg, or could be Somalinglish for Bed/Sariir. What happens in the west? The sun sets. And what happens when the sun sets? You go to bed - hence Gal-bed.

Konfur - No fcking idea.

Dhagax - Dhag, the sound made when a stone hits something. Ax is the sound you make when a stone hits you - hence dhagax.

Jareer - Jar means cut/sever. Reer is family/clan. Therefore your family severs all ties with you if you marry a jareer.

Foolxun - Fool means giving birth. Xun means bad. Therefore you are ugly because you were born like that.
