Thank you Bella appreciated is your stopping by. Now encouraged I 'll add these english words reclaimed by their So'maali origins and here they are;
Library= La + i + baray + eray= macnaha qof wax bartey uunba LIBRARY gala waxayna markhaati u tahay in LA BAREY EREY. "LIBRARY" the word came from the combination of this statement in So'maali " I WAS (LA I) TAUGHT (BARAY) WORDING (EREY) for if a person is not lettered he/she would not go to a library in the first place.
Brother= Bro + tar= macnaha wiilku reerka kama tago ee intuu guursado ayuu guri cusub SOO kordhey marks WAA BARO TAR. The male child does not leave the family but gets married and increases a new household to his family and tribe while on the other hand
Sister= Siis + tar= the female child is given to someone for a marriage and moves away to live with her new family. Macnaha gabadha dee CID BAA LA SIIYA GUURSATA OO KAXAYSATA oo sida wiilka baro reerkooda kuma kordhiso EE WAXAY KORDHIISA KA TAGIS.
I'll stop at this today. Big love to you all out there.
