Can't believe Somalis the ones that kept the naming of the solar system.

Does anyone knows the origin of the names ?

Apparently Saturn name in Somali Raage means slow/delayed, and Saturn actually rotate too slowly compared to other planets, which makes sense to name it Raage. What about the rest?

I call it cadceed, I think its more poetic, Qarox is more standard Somali.
