You are right. The equivalent letter of the Arabic letter /ʕ/ is "c" in Somali. Also the word (/ʕaːr/ʿārعار) becomes "caar" in Somali and its meaning is different than the actual meaning of the Arabic word. Aar means a 'lion' in Somali, I personally know quite few Somalis called Aar or other compound name followed by Aar. Also the Somali word Maanta means "today", thus Aar Maanta becomes Lion Today. --Daljir (talk) 13:46, 31 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

A single purpose account has been insinuating that Maanta was born in Ethiopia, though the link doesn't assert this. It only states that his hometown is Jijiga in the Somali Region/Ogaden in Ethiopia. This is because Maanta belongs to the Ogaden sub-clan of the Darod, which is centered in the Ogaden region. His actual birthplace, though, is Somalia, where his family have/had a house. He also emigrated from Somalia after the start of the civil war. Middayexpress (talk) 16:09, 29 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
