For Chicken in Somali do you use doro or digaag?

[AfranQallo]

Lukkuu, Cuucii, Indaaqqoo

Don't see any connections.

Gosh, these double vowels in Oromo are awful.

What is cuucii and indaqqoo? Never heard of those words and I’m fluent in Oromo. lol

I don't speak Oromo, just used online translators.

It's an actual Oromo word, guess you don't speak Oromo well:

I have never heard those words. Could be from some other region in Oromia. We have different dialects.

kuku

That sounds like a naughty word

Diimtuu (Diimaa) = Red in Oromo is connected to the word Dhiig (Blood) in Somali.

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Digaag....but i hear doro as well. For some reason digag feels more appropriate when they are dead and meat is served. While doro when alive and running about

Much like in the English language:

Original Anglo-Saxon/English word-Pig(alive)

French loan word-Pork(dead)

@AfranQallo do you know enough Somali words to tell us what other words we might share?

Dhimtu or Diima(masculine).

Blood in Oromo is Dhiiga.

There are tons but I don’t really know Af Somali to list the similarities. I know common words that are similar and the numbers eg: Adeero is paternal uncle in Oromo, Habo is Maturnal Aunt.

Numbers:
Takka - 1
Lama - 2
Saadi - 3
Afur - 4
Shan - 5
Ja’ha or Jah - 6
Torba - 7
Sadeet- 8
Sagal- 9
Kudhan- 10

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Blood = Diima in Arabic too.

The word for Blood in Hebrew is "Dam" & in Tamazight(Berber) it's "Idamn"

The Afro-Asiatic linguistic heritage can explain the similarities.
