To become a professional fkd-er?

I've come across some but they only the list major branches (Isaaq, Dir, Darood etc) Maybi abtirsi.com ? but people don't see it as reputable per se

Some wiki pages for qabiils list lineages too, but idk if they're genuine

how might this information be used as fkd \:

Im looking for general knowledge, I hate having to guess the meanings of some clan names. without experts to explain them we might end up embarrassed, like when I thought Gaaljecil meant kuffar lover

Yeah I learn the archaic meaning of 'Gaal' because of the Abgaal origin myth

Gaal is the old word for camel . As a clan they’re known for having the most camels hence why they’re called galjecel.

I’m assuming you know that by now . Same goes for Abgaal which is combination of the word ab (abo )and gaal ( geel). Abgaal probably out all sub clans have the best origin story in my opinion .

Dont let people deter you from seeking knowledge about qabil and their names .qabil there’s no wrong in its how people identified each other for all of Somali history it’s when qabyalaad comes into the picture

What about abgaal origin story ?
I thought it was just a random name that expressed their love for camels .. could you explain it to me akhi? or send me a link so I can read about it, mahadsanid .
