African wild dog would be weer and it even says so on the somali wiki.

Yey or yeey on the other hand means wolf.

 

[Mr. Nur]

"Yeey" is a Somali word that means "wolfish" It is not an animal itself, but rather a word used to describe an animal.

Nah, Weer/Dhidar is stripped Hyena. Dictionaries are not always accurate when it comes to wild animals.

The only Wolf/Wolf-like species living in Somali-lands(African Golden Wolf formerly Golden Jackal) is called "Dacaw" and other weird names.

Hmmm. I asked around and I've been told that it means wolf but at this point it's getting bit confusing not gonna lie kkk. I've searched online and found different source calling both yey, i think it's not as black and white as we'd like it to be.
