P.S. Is there a website that has all this along with pictures?

....they r backwards.....but thanks sis....most of them sound like discriptions of the parts....rather than names....

[raula]

-Tibia>> lafta san qaroorka

thought sanqarooka refers to sinus area (or nose area)? While tibia is smallest bone in the leg... :confused:

 

-Rectum>> malawadkawow-never heard of the word.

-nail>>musmaar

perhaps CIDII would be better coz description above is for metal nails per se (as in for construction etc).

-elbow>>jidh,jirka

the translation is for rather SKIN not ELBOW however this is the description for precisely ELBOW

-elbow>>suxulka gacanta,xusul

Otherwise-good list. Mucho gracias senorita SiSade

[Mowgli]

Besbaaso,

Thanks for the correction.

 

 

Raula,

you are right thats wrong interpretation. "Sanqaroorka" is the nasal septum and Tibia is big bone in the leg below the knee as you can see the figure posted by Femme Fatale. The small bone is called Fibula. I dont know any Somali words for those.

 

Idil,

You are right, Uterus is also called "Min".

 

Femme Fatale,

no problem.

 

Palate.........Dhabxanag

Muscle.........Muruq

Cartilage......Carjow

Sperm..........dont know Somali word for it. Some use the word "shahwo" which could be Arabic but it refers to semen.

 

Anyone knows these in Somali?

Pancreas
