Names are too long.

It needs revising but it's old culture. It pre-dates the diraac. Diraac was introduced to Somalis in the early 19th century from Yemen/India.

These is reer Waqooyi calendar btw.

The word adhi-caseeye would be ari-gududiye :lol: :lol:

In that month maybe sheep loose their fur or it turns red due to dust?
