Yeah it is juudaan. Funny thing is when I was a kid in Kismayo, older people used to scare me with juudaans to get me inside the house.

PG,

What about Xiiq Dheer? Its at the back of my tongue, just can't remember though, I am sure it was a respiratory related illness. My mom would be disappointed, she used to be a nurse at Digfeer like 2 centuries ago! Laughing

Mike,

Southerners used to speak in Italian during colonialism, so they adopted a lot of Italian lingo in to Somali.
