Jabutí is a nearly extinct Yabutian language that as of 1990 was spoken by only five people in Rondônia, Brazil, at the headwaters of the Rio Branco.

I don't know but I've heard it said it means Jab Buti
Buti is what Somalis call bears and apparently there once was a ship with bears on board on it's way to a zoo in Europe that ran aground in the area.Hence the Jab

Interesting. How do we even have a word for bears if there aren't any back home? Also, whats a ship full of bears doing off the coast of Somalia?

Goes to show you they weren't ever interested in protecting their "identity" to allow their population to reach such a level. They have no one to blame except themselves.

Lol soomaalidu waxay doonan ayey iska qoraan. We're the only people who present conjecture as fact.

By the way the word madaxkuti is interesting. I have a theory that its a combination of madax=head and kuti=dog in South Asian languages.
