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 dha

waaq

-- 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.

I thought that Waaq also is sound of crow, because when we were young (af-baradkii) we used to call the crow, Waaq-Waaqle, but then waan ka yara shikiyay that I might be wrong....Thank you.

Golcas = Waa qoraxda xiliga galabta.

Sibir godan = dee waa sibirta geela,

 

Qoraxda galabtii way kulushahay , geelana sibirta waxa ka marsan haabeed , Hadii qoraxdaasi ku dhacdo haabeeda aad bay u gubaysaa , sidaa aawadeed geelu waxa uu isku dayaa in uu kala jeediyo sibirtiisa iyo Qoraxda. Thus the proverb Golcas iyo sibir godan kala jeedi geelu (you can find it in some songs)
