Isku Shuban has these beautiful lakes and waterfalls surrounded by rocks, I think the name refers to water pouring into each other, not diarrhoea.

You translated all these words wrong.

Dhuusamereeb dhuusamareeb ≠ fart -town

Naas-hablood, Naasohablood ≠ ladies with breasts

Buurtinleh variant name Burtinle ≠ mountain with a single piece of hair

Iskushuban ≠ vomit on yourself ?

Buuryaqab ≠ uncut penis

All these words above are place names. They are beautiful, have meanings and story behind it. None of these names are facetious. You just completely translated them wrong even when you literal translated them. However I'll translate better.

1. Dhuusamareeb = ?

We donnot know the meaning of Dhuusamareeb let alone translate it. However, people didnot stop attempting to find the meaning of it.

According to modern Somali language .

"Dhuusamareeb" is triple compound word.

Dhuuso + ma + reeb

Modern Somali Literal translation

Dhuuso = fart
Ma = no/not
Reeb= left behind / exclude / hold back

Possible meaning in the modern Somali Literal translation.

Fart not left behind
Fart exclude



Modern story of the word Dhuusamareeb.


Dhuusamareeb is on hills and when people go and down the hill they fart because they can't hold it.


Fact check

Dhuusamareeb has no mountains or hills that surrounds the city.


Somali linguestics perspective.

We have lost the meaning Dhuusamareeb though time. All the modern definition does not explained anything.




2. Naasohablood = Virgin


More explaination

The name Naasohablood comes from two mountains in Northen Somalia, near the capital Hargaysa. When you are away from these two mountains they resemble breasts. So the people name these two mountain "girls-breasts" but when we combined that two words it means "Virgin" in Somali language. Furthermore, These two mountains are a landmark. Its name Naasohablood is in poetry, hotels are named after it and it is iconic. Somalis across the world knows it. Naasohablood mountains also on the Somaliland's currency. Naasohablood is a name of two mountain.

@backgroundISneeded the way you quickly ran through Buryoqab but made everything else LITERAL btw that name is long gone now. It’s Xarfo

 

[backgroundISneeded]

Buulo Xaar (Xaar Village)
Iskushuban(Diarehhea on yourself}
Kuntuwaareey(Doggystyle with a lady named Waarey)
Baar Kulan{Bar of meetups}
Afbarwaaqo[Sweet mouth of oral}

You are reading wrong

1. Buuloxaar/ buuloxaadh, xaar in this context doesn't mean . The xaar mentioned in Buuloxaar and xaar are not pronounced the same. all they they are written the same Xaar/Xaar/dh.
2. Iskushuban doesn't mean diarrhea. To get the meaning of the word Iskushuban I'll give you word that similar in terms of grammar.

You probably have seen these words

iskufilan
iskuddaran
isku-aaddan
iskurarran

3. Kuntuwaareey =

4. Baarkulan = the Baar tree that brings together.

Baar is a type of tree. I don't what it is called in English but there is a tree called Baar.
