Jim, I am aware that this thread is about maahmaahyo, and so is what I wrote

 

As for translating. Hadal 'ax' ma odhan = If words could feel pain.

You are right sxb about this one, but i thought it was about tasho (like decision making, advice..but ur rite). And max laga yiri dumarka mahmah.

 

Buuxo, before today I always thought Far kaliya fool ma dhaqdo, meant dishes not face, I heard that mahmah when i was in Junior High, we were talking about somthing, my moms said that mahmah and i said what?, to explain it to me since she was washing the dishes, she said can one finger wash these dishes marka i said no...since then i thought that was the literal translation, tho i understood the meaning of the message. I learned somthing.

 

Allamagan saved that page, but don't understand not even one.

 

Translate: Rag waa raggii hore hadalna waa intuu yidhi

This is what aabiyaasheen isku sheegi jireen in the old days to marry an innocent, unsuspecting, maiden new wife, saying aloud to reerkeeda, "War gabar nin dhali karaa dhaqi karee ina siiya inanta."

 

Well, in a way, it means only 'a mature man can take care his girl [lady].' Not an inexperienced boy-man. That is the reference with being 'old enough to be her father.'

 

NB - I think you got the confusion and misunderstanding from the misspelling of dhaqi to 'dhiqi.' Dhiqi sounds like a complete new word.

[Buuxo]

Lol i was worried in what dhiqi could mean. lol those odayaals never run out of any reasoning to marry young girls. Thanks for the heads up, if i hear that being said in my presence , cagaha baan wax kadaya
