"Arabised" names but not language

[Arabsiyawi]

Daaqad is another great example. It is from Yemeni but also exists in Algerian Arabic and Southern Tunisian Arabic.

Noticed this, « hdr » is also their main verb meaning « to speak », which gave his nanays to Hadraawi AUN.

Shawla means stove in Yemeni Arabic
“ad” at the end of words is how we “somalised” the ة. So whenever you see it you’re probably looking at a loanword

What about the word mafiiq, it sounds more Semitic than Cushitic.

I'm leaning towards a native Somali word. I can't find anything even remotely similar in Arabic.
It also follows a common Afroasiatic-inherited pattern like in
Arag>marag
Or in Afar with
Qab (to drink)>maqab (beverage)
*Afar /q/ is pronounced like Somali /c/*

A funny one might be tag>matag ? I really don't know about this one but it fits the template lol.
