Since Maalin is semitic in origin​

the title. is Bari equivalent to maalin?

Why do you think that the Somali word ( maalin ) came from the Semitic languages?

That was a claim made by the username
( Garaad Awal ), as he said:
​

Somalis have South Ethio-Semitic loanwords like Maalin which I would probably attribute to contact with the Harla mentioned in the Futuh.​

It is indeed Semitic in origin, there is nothing wrong with this

Is this evidence?

You should know that the Somali language was written almost fifty years ago.

Is the presence of this word ( maalin ) in the Ge'ez dictionary proof that the Somalis borrowed the word ( maalin ) from the Semitic languages?

With your twisted logic ,
it is possible to say that the Somali word ( aabo / aabe ) came from the Semitic languages, since the word ( ab أب ) is found in Arabic, Hebrew, Ge’ez, and Aramaic dictionaries.​

Do you think that the Somali word( Ugaas ) came from the southern Semitic Ethiopian languages, as the username ( Garaad Awal ) claims ?

Garaad Awal said:
Ugaas is also a South Ethio-Semitic word .

This my proof that the somali word ( ugaas ) is a somali word, NOT from South Ethio-Semitic languages as I posted to you previously in your post ( in Somalispot : Culture & History section :
Is Amharic that different than other Semitic languages including Ge'ez? ) .

ugs : / ugaas /

The Somali the biliteral root ( hg هَچْ : / hag / ) means : to guide ,to direct .
higid / hagis means : guiding / directing / leading .

hg → hgd : ( hag → higid ) .

hg → hgs : ( hag → hagis ) .

hg → hgs → ugs
hag → hagis → ugaas

hgm → hoggaami

hgn → hoggaan

agsn → agaasin

hoggaami : to lead , to be in charge of , to manage .....
hoggaamin : leading, guiding ; leadership .
hoggaamiye : guide, leader ; chairman, director, manager .
hoggaan : camel’s halter ( leading rope ) .
hoggaan : authorities ; leadership .


agaasiman : organized ...
agaasime : manager , director .
agaasime guud : director general .
agaasimid : managing , administering .
agaasin : management ; directorate ; administrative .
agaasin : manage, organize .

ugaas : chief , king , sultan ( the one who commands , the one who directs , the one who leads ) .

it made since to me

It made sense to me

why ?

 

[mohamedismail]

In Maay we say Gee/Geeka for maalinl/maanta.

@Maakhri from dhahar Do you know where 'Gee' originates from or if other languages have it.

Unfortunately I don't have any information about your question at the moment .

How do you say ( sun ) in Af Maay ?
Is ( sun ) a feminine or masculine noun in Af Maay ?

For example in Maxaa Tiri ( Somali language ) : ( sun ) is feminine noun .
we say : qorrax ( sun ) ,
qorraxda ( the sun ) .​

 

[Celery]

Maalin doesn’t come form Semitic. Yawm comes from Semitic and we barely use it.

From my knowledge of for sun we say Iriidha. Not sure if it is feminine or masculine though.
