Let me try.

 

Jacbur = literary nonsense/nonsense verse.

Maandhaaf = misunderstand

Mareegaaleeysi = spinning (or was it some children's game?).

Mudhuudhuq = overcooked food, well ripen fruit, an spoilt child/someone just looking for trouble.

 

 

jacbur= mix...

 

Mudhudhuq=well ripen meat not fruits...also sexually hungry(waan mudhuudhuqay).

 

 

Mareegaaleeysi=spinning(children's game..kind hide & seek), also run around,avoid the point(gist or truth)

 

 

* runtaad ka mareegaaleysanaysaa....this is the longest somali word so far seen almost like german:D

 

 

guys gona make thread of longest somali words...

Since this is a Somali-English thread I thought I post my question in here since it's relevant.

 

What are the adrenal and adrenal cortex called in Somali?

Let me Generally explain it...

Endocrine glands = Qanjidhada Marinka la'a

Adrenal glands/ Supra-Renal gland = Qanjidh Kalyeed (( Personally I would renamed it "Qanjidhka Kali-nabane" kk))

Adrenal cortex = Diir hoosaadka Qanjidh kalyeedka .... ((Personally I would prefer "Maydhaxda Qanjidhka" -- Cortex of the gland))

Adernal Medulla = Madhulaha .
