e.g. "Boqorkii talo ayaa ku ceegaagtay" The king was filled with ideas.

Haatu, some of these words would have surly revived back to life if our Afsoomali speaking governments considered it as an important language (first class). The problem is that the Afsoomaali of today is only ' ifaham nooh '

I know what you mean. Despite its many faults at least dawladdii kacaanka put a lot of effort into developing the language but the leaders of today fall short big time in the section. The President can barely give a decent speech in Somali forget about them developing or even preserving it.

The last real government we've had. SNM, SSDF, USC and SPM had to ruin everything.

Rear word:

Waaq

, meaning God

Funny word:

Inan

, pronounced in two ways to mean two different things- boy and girl.

Waaq = Micnaha ay dadka qaar sheegaan ee waa Ilaah soomaalidu caabudi jirtay (wal ciyaadu bilaah) Islaamnimada kahor ma laha caddayn adag....tusaalaha ay adeegsada waxa ugu caansan,,,,Caabudwaaq iyo ceelwaaq

 

Waaq = common meaning, denoting a sound , especially that of birds, that is why in songs they used the word Waaq-la'a,,Examples (Walee Waaqlaan u baxayoo, cidlaan heehaabayaa)

This makes sense know. In the dictionary it defines it also as a man who is physically strong whereas the authour uses it to mean the hero. I think in the distant past it just used to mean a bull elephant then somewhere along the way people started using it for physically strong men. Then post-72 literarians started to use it to mean 'hero'. Who knows.

Waaq is not the sound of any bird. It is the sound, to our human ears, made by the crow. What is crow's name in Afsoomaali? Tuke, course. What else is tuke meaning is known for? To pray, of course. And it is no coincidence.

 

Hence, Soomaalidii hore probably revered in some way or other tukaha. Its dhawaaq -- another 'waaq' in right here -- waxee Soomaalidii hore u maleeyeen probably it was invoking the Creator in the heavens. Tuke the bird, of course, is no ordinary bird. It has a prominent narration in Quraanka and diinteena in general, starting from the beginning, where a tuke taught Nabi Aaden's son how to bury a dead sibling markee isdileen, the first murder on earth.

 

I once saw a family's surname being Waaqdhowr. Many Soomaalis use its Carabi version, barako.

Walee Waaqlaan u baxayoo, cidlaan heehaabayaa = ilaah baryaan ubaxay, waana wareersanahay wali (saan u malaynayo)

 

Waaq waxaa u ku qoran yahay ilaah ahaan Kutubo baddan sidda quraan-ka.

 

Waaq = supreme God

 

Ancient Egyptians dynasty 6 and 12 worshipped Waaq as the supreme God of Gods
