The amharic word for a mattress is firaash too. It may have been derived from arabic. I am not sure. By the way I pronounce it Joodari.

I want to write a somali/waqooyi dictionary.
dabaq = fooq
dhalo = qaruurad
telefishan = dhalo
mutuleel = marmar
gob = xaamur

Some of these words are used by both sides.

dabaq means floor.
you can say dabaqa kowaad, dabaqa labaad etc but fooq means tall a tall building, Apartment complex etc like fooqa dahabshiil

sadeboi, I don't speak arabic so I don't know but I know that word is indeed an amharic word and it means the same thing in amharic.

goljano, everyone I know calls any high-rise building a dabaq. I understand what you mean about dabaqa koowaad and labaad and shit though. I guess it can mean two things and its meaning depends on in what context you use it in.
