Lakin, dukan and babur are arabic words.
Lol it makes sense though. I wish they still did that I would prefer it over the english names and signage all over the place.kkk it's my suugo science, I'm giving any excuse for it not to be a loanword. Back in the day there used to be a group of linguists who would somalize any new thing that was brought into the language. For example a satellite dish was called Dayax gacmeed(Moon with arms)
I always thought it was an arabic word, gonna have to look it up and double check.@embarassing I never heard baabuur in arabic, arabs use siyaara or arabiya for car. I think baabuur is 100% authentic somali.

It's saying the meaning is train/steam in amharic, which borrowed it from Arabic, but ultimately came from the two French/Italian words^.
