Somali discontinuous coordinate structures with a focus on conjunct hyperbaton in poetry
Noun phrase coordination in Somali is expressed by the conjunction iyo to create a single coordinate noun phrase. This is well documented. What has not been documented are instances of the conjunction iyo without a conjunct immediately adjacent to one or the other side of it. In this article I consider such cases. Some are discontinous coordinate constructions in which the conjunct following iyo is not present immediately after the conjunction bu…
Arabic influence on metre in Somali Sufi religious poetry
It has generally been assumed that there has not been any direct influence on Somali poetic metre from the metrical forms of Arabic. For the most part, this certainly seems to hold, but this article presents a poem which is of a type on which, it is argued, Arabic influence can be seen. The poem, ‘Taaj Awliyo’ by Sheekh Caaqib Cabdullaahi Jaamac (ca. 1922-?) is presented in detail and, although it has been described as being in the jiifto metre, …
The Worldly and the Unworldly in Jacayl Dhiig Ma Lagu Qoray by Maxamed Ibraahim Warsame ?Hadraawi
This paper considers the worldly and unworldly in the famous Somali poem \nJacayl Dhiig Ma Lagu Qoray by Maxamed Ibraahim Warsame “Hadraawi.” \nThe poem alternates between worldly and unwordly perspectives, each of \nwhich is a side in a dialectic questioning the nature of love. These different \nperspectives are reflected in references to time, people and landscape. A \ncomparison is drawn with the way in which such references are presented \nin…
On the concept of 'definitive text' in Somali poetry
The notion of text, along with the issues relating to how variable or fixed a text may be, has been a central issue in the study of oral literature for some time. In this article it will be argued that the notion of the poetic text as being unchangeable is central to Somali maanso poetry, and that such poems are instances of what become, through the composition process, 'definitive texts'. Arguments in favour of this will be presented from a numb…

Language use in three Somali religious poems
This article presents three Somali religious poems which are part of the general tradition of the Qaadiriyya Sufi tariqa in the eastern Horn of Africa. Two are very firmly based in that tradition, one is an intercessory poem to Cabdulqaadir al-Jiilaani the other an intercessory poem to Faadumo. The third is a praise to the Prophet which I argue is also intercessory, but less obviously so. The poems are analysed with a view to describing and accou…

A literary stylistic analysis of a poem by the Somali poet Axmed Ismaciil Diiriye 'Qaasim
This article presents a stylistic analysis of a poem which we shall call Macaan iyo Qadhaadh, 'Sweet and bitter' by the Somali poet Axmed Ismaciil Diiriye 'Qaasim'. It will show ways in which the language has been crafted syntactically, metrically, alliteratively and in other ways so as to contribute to the power and meaning of the poem as a whole. A stylistics-based approach has been followed looking at the actual language structures and stylist…

The prefix conjugation in Qafar‐Saho
It will be necessary to reserve our main conclusions and claims until after the presentation of the second case study in Part II of this paper. Notwithstanding, we feel it would be of value to offer an interim recapitulation of the main points of the case study just considered. 1. As part of its inheritance from Afroasiatic, the linguistic ancestor of Irob and the other Qafar‐Saho varieties preserved a pattern of verbal conjugation involving pref…
