Ida Posted March 5, 2021 Hello, In the context below, I want to know if “maraykaan” is the name of a place in Somalia or a brand name? He was wearing locally-made khaki trousers, a collarless shirt of maraykaan-cotton and sandals. Source: Gifts, written by Nuruddin Farah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 8, 2021 Mareykan = United States, America Mareykaan-cotton = he probably meant U.S.-made cotton. Hope this clarifies. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
