Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted January 25, 2007 Somalis have a striking, which, combined with their ruddy, has earned them the nickname of "fox" in some circles. Abyssinians and Somalis share the same personality (active, intelligent, playful, curious) and appearance. Like Abyssinians, they have a dark rim around their eyes that makes them look like they are wearing kohl. Temperament They are smart and lively, but also alert and curious. They are freedom-loving and must have plenty of room to roam and explore. [AKA being nomads.] Behaviours and patterns There are four main Somali colors officially accepted: Ruddy, red, blue, and fawn. European Somali organizations have a different naming convention: "Usual" for ruddy and "sorrel" for red. Genetic problems Many purebred Somalis had significant dental problems due to congenital problems magnified by inbreeding. As a result, many Somalis had to have all their adult teeth removed. More on Soomaalis simplified. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted January 26, 2007 Maskiin, indeed. Makulaalahaan laakiin sida Soomaalida camal ayee xiitoxiito iyo xayeesi u yihiin. The brief description also matches their namesake's people characteristics: "They are smart and lively, but also alert and curious. They are freedom-loving and must have plenty of room to roam and explore." So I see they are also fiery, independent-loving nomads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
