Second meaning?
'Jaad' means 'nooc' [type] as in ' laba kala jaad ah', no?

Could not put that in a sentence, coud you?

A different 'jaad' than the one you are thinking about.

The narcotic's actual name is ' قات - qaat', as I suspect it came to the Somali peninsula from Yemen.

before we give credit to anybody.

Do you know the etymology ‘qaad’? How did this word was form ?

The word ‘jaad’ is used Af Hereri , Afaan Oromo , Af Amxaari .

In Somali we used both Qaad and Jaad. Some regions prefer one over the other.

Jaad (species) and Jaad ( ) is pronounced differently. The ‘aa’ is soft in .

 

[𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈]

I trust its etymology is:
قُوتُ : رزق؛ ما يأكُلُه الإنسان ويعيش به

Does that ring a bell?

Actually, come to think of it, 'species' itself is Latin meaning 'type'.

I do not speak Arabic.

It doesn’t ring a bell.
