@ciderbae I have come across an interesting blog post that refers to different saar spirits/entities I guess of different geographical origins. “Saar Carbeed” being in of the, being from “Shaam” so it might be a similar practice

@HassanMo1305 @ciderbae Diisoow is a dance you’re right as well as a sub clan name within the raxanweyn clan

[Nxrdn @nvrdnali]

@ciderbae Diisoow* be mindful of the spelling because this is a completely different word haha.

@zhuzhuwrites Abroone, Absame, Abaskuul, Tigaal, Afwaax, Amaadin, Hubeer, Geedi/Geedoow, Waranle, Kaahiye, Isgoow, Oontir, Gu’aale, Guuleed, Amanreer, Kaariye, Jambeel, Iidle, Leeysaan - most of these are “clan” names and people tend to not name kids this but they are very beautiful nonetheles

@Eyespeakfax This is so interesting to me/ particularly the replies of some accounts saying they like hebel hebel or showing diadain for folks that are not even mentioned by the OP, I feel we need to know less about one another

@muhibbuddinab @Derdooba @reaper200043 @Banaadiri0 @yoongirune @allak_weda @acidnegroe Not necessarily true, I don’t think there’s much similarity between u and I aside from the fact we are urban dwellers within xamar and have been living amongst each other for long. I share more with a Biimaal from Jamaame or Mudulood from the lower lands in terms of heritage etc.

@muhibbuddinab @Derdooba @reaper200043 @Banaadiri0 @yoongirune @allak_weda @acidnegroe Sorry brother/sister, I don’t want to come off as someone with harsh or ill intent by the way, I can be blunt and it can send the wrong signals. Im trying to understand the reasoning behind your thinking that’s all

[Nxrdn @nvrdnali]

@maiscquica I’ve been obsessed with this woman and I hope she knows she is loved, shoutout to her kids for being brave enough to put a Somali mother online😭

[Nxrdn @nvrdnali]

@iqbtxh @ciderbae Quite an alarming number of our youth carry this sentiment. All hard things require you to be harder (pause lmfao) but there has to be intention, interest, and lastly, repetition. It would also help if you knew what region your parents hail from, to narrow it down, it’s easier.

[Nxrdn @nvrdnali]

@muhibbuddinab @Derdooba @reaper200043 @Banaadiri0 @yoongirune @allak_weda @acidnegroe And to add on, there’s been a phenomenon online to redefine or misconstrue the “Banaadiri” identity & in a very selective manner, whilst also alienating it from the “Somali” identity. We all see it in this thread & others as well. I’m inclined to question what the intention is.

[Nxrdn @nvrdnali]

@muhibbuddinab @Derdooba @reaper200043 @Banaadiri0 @yoongirune @allak_weda @acidnegroe Everyone knows their history, gibil cad will always be proud of their ancestry and know where their people come from and who they came to. My in-laws, my cousins through marriage, and many people i grew up with never share this sentiment I see online mostly, it’s rather shocking

[Nxrdn @nvrdnali]

@Banaadiri0 @Derdooba @yoongirune @allak_weda @acidnegroe Coastal identity of Somalia is tied to and influenced by inland culture(s) of Somalis. Also, our oral traditions tell us so much about ourselves. Banadir as you know it now is different from Banadir how it was when these coalitions were created. “Banadiri” & all falling under it.

[Nxrdn @nvrdnali]

@muhibbuddinab @Derdooba @reaper200043 @Banaadiri0 @yoongirune @allak_weda @acidnegroe I’m interested to know how you came to this conclusion? The Banaadiri identity was created not that long ago, so before that everyone was a “reer hebel” and most reers were of Somali origin and indigenous to the Somali peninsula. That’s why it’s called Xamar(weyne) Xamar(jajab)

@HangingByA I also would say “qalinmada/qalinmiinta” 😭😭 and words that are Arabic in origin might not follow a strict ruling in conjugation from singular/plural I feel like

[Nxrdn @nvrdnali]

@khaliwrites I have heard “Bileey Bil-caan, Bileey Bil Bashar, Bileey Bil Kheyr” from my Xamari father whilst observing the moon in its full phase. So I had assumed “Bil-caan” is referring to the revered beauty of the moon and alluring it to women, like the name “Bilan” but I’m not sure.

[Nxrdn @nvrdnali]

@ayofamrelaxxx Is there lore or sumn that I’m missing out on
