an issue as murder, with a rather low comparative penalty. Unlike the 21st century, wherein a woman accepting male dominance may be discredited with derogatory terms such as a pick-me girl, the female equivalent of simp, these series of post-Taleh-bombing laws show that women in Ciid-Nugaal were traditionally submissive towards the men in their households or accepting of patriarchy. The verbal exchange between Ismail Ishaaq Urwayni and the Sayid in 1920 addresses the notion that during the medieval era, the ability to get married was limited for men of low socioeconomic status such as slaves: Disarmament The 1920 Dardaaran poem speaks about masculinity as with Afbakayle verse 37. In the Dardaaran verse the Sayid states that a race being forcibly disarmed is akin to emasculation.

It states that over the years, a thousand people had become emigrants in the Nugaal Valley and Ciid regions, the original habitat of Darawiish: The term haddaan waayay literally means if I fell short and is throughout inundated with rhetorical questions asking whether the Darawiish were really defeated.
