I also came to disagree with you on this one. :) Senduq is a common word where I grew up, the Gibe Oromo region. But it is interesting to investigate how words develop and how they become what they are today. Nice article. PS: I have not gone that far with the Amharic translation of the book on Morrie. Still working on it. You are welcome to join me. “and how did this word stick in Dire Dawa, Harar and not anywhere else in Ethiopia?” I also came to disagree with you on this one. :)

The history is kinda getting obscure but Harar always had a strong link with the Arab world. Even been occupied by the Egyptians Turks, result of the Ottoman expansion. Malta was under Arab influence at some time or another. Maybe there is a connection. Language travels quite a distance. very interesting… The history is kinda getting obscure but Harar always had a strong link with the Arab world.

I had no idea. All the times I have heard it mentioned, amharic speakers outside of Harar and Dire Dawa had not heard of it. In that case, it probably has a more ancient root then...I'm still fascinated by the origin of all the Afro-Asiatic languages... Thanks for you visit and comment Bahir! oh it is? interesting!
