His two books




    • The terminology and practice of Somali weather lore, astronomy, and astrology (1968)
    • Stars, seasons and weather in Somali pastoral traditions (1970)


Great man! There was a recent book unveiled in hargeisa about his biography!

Who authored these dictionaries?

As you know these terms were not always in our lingo but were formed to keep up with the age.

One of the few great legacies of the Xisbiga Hantiwadaagga Kacaanka Soomaaliyeed was its advocacy of the Somali language. It's in our interest to safe guard and further promote this language across all walks of life.

If I can contribute something positive to this forum, that is fine by me. It's your duty to learn from what I'm posting and to further teach others in regards to these gem worthy publications/books.


I do hope the admins will create a language subsection @AbdiJohnson @Kaleel so our works aren't scattered throughout the forum and can be accessed via one section. @Huur requested a subsection regarding our language a while back if I remember correctly.

Interesting terms, we will need them once we bring the Somali education system back on it feet.:rejoice:
We need to go back to free compulsonary public schooling no longer should the youth rot in ignorance!

Sonkorowga (Diabetes)

Mahadsanid, most of them are new to me as I never knew Somalis had some of these diseases. I heard the phrase "white mans disease" and it's somewhat applicable hah.

Also with diabetes, can't you also say macaan? I've heard people use macaan often.

According to the biology dictionary, page 11.

diabetes mellitus (latin name by the way) = kaadi macaan/kaadi sonkorow

Regional variations mind you.



@Canuck mahadsanid sister, you're doing a good job in regards to raising awareness of the treacherous shisheeyeha and the somali dhabadhilif who have supported them.
@Araman sorry walaal.
