Saqaf means ceiling

It's an arabic loanword in af waqooyi. For hairbrush we say gadhfeedh, whereas Southerners say saqaf or shanlo, if I'm not mistaken.

Shanlo refers to hair pick / comb, we dont have a word for hairbrush hooyo dhehday because we didnt have them historically
Ceiling waa "kor leh"
Kor leh? Never heard of that

I tried (unsuccessfuly) to say no specific word for ceiling either. A lot of words my parents use descriptors for it or just use the english word. Happens when you spent more time outside the country than in at this point
A lot of these words on the list have to be dialect specific like maar is just ilko cas right
Ceiling is saqar and it's magar not maar, maar means bronze I think

Yes in carabic language but in Djibouti dialect is for hairbrush but we also use gadhfeedh sometimes.
You got it, it's a dialect mostly.
As in Djibouti ceiling we just say 'Plafon' which is the French word for ceiling.
And it's maar when I hear it, maybe you're right.

I will drop this here since i remembered. Somali has idghaam to a degree in informal speech i dont know exactly how the rules work but i think it has to do with a nuun saakinah followed by a voiced consonant although i may be completely wrong please correct me. But it means words like comb and knife are spelt shanlo and mindi, and then when they are pronounced informally they become like shallo and midi
Funny thing is sometimes when people are speaking formally they try and manually reverse the idghaam and add it back into words it never existed in like they say Maansha Allaah with a nuun
