Cursing

[cunug3aad]

Specifically cursing using the phrase "nacalatulah" or "naclad". Im convinced this has to be some sort of mincing of arabic لعنة because the arabic is l-c-n and the somali is n-c-l and they both mean curse. Please confirm for me also was the curse minced intentionally or unintentionally

Linguistically :
The letter L is interchangeable with the letter N.
L↔ N ,
l-c-n ↔ n-c-l .

In Iraq, the word "lacan" is transformed into "nacal "
and in Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, Syria, Libya, and many other Arab societies.
Even in Somali, "nacal " is used instead of "lacan" .

في العراق، يقلبون كلمة (ألعن، لعنة ) الى، (انعل ، ونعلة ).
وفي تونس والمغرب والسودان وسوريا وليبيا والعديد من المجتمعات العربية
