SOIL TYPES

Soil types
Hello chitaab koreet. Today I want to share the different types of soil. In koreet we have different names for each type of soil.
Tutuweek is the general for all soil types especially the loose type. Usually when the wind blows over the soil, the finer soil is blown away in form of dust.
Teng'eek is the farm soil. It also refers to the shamba in the larger context. When one buys a shamba, it is said "kaal Teng'eek" (he/she has bought land) .
Ng'oonweet: This is the sand soil that is commonly used for building purposes. It is normally found in the low lands.
Ng'oromuuk. This is the granular hardened soil that is the marrum. It normally has tough black little stones engulfed in red soil. It is best for construction purposes in forming the foundation of houses and roads.
Some people erroneously call it "maramuut" or some Tesos who have been sabaotized call it "ng'aramuut". This is wrong it should be "ng'oromuuk". This kind of soil made a place adjacent to Kaimugul to be named Ng'oromuuk because it was found in plenty there.
Wooryaanteet: This type of soil is the red ocre. When one applies over the skin, it brings the brown color that now days ladies have perfected it by using I don't if it's cocoa powder or something else. It is specifically used for ceremonial purposes.
Ng'eenynta: this the special salty solute gotten from caves. It is liked and licked by animals. When your domestic animals especially livestock get to lick this salty rocks, a half of your animal are gone. No worms, no constipation, no buying of artificial animal salt licks and there is increased milk production.
There's also another one specially for ceremonial purpose by chemeriik.
What do we call those anthills soils? What about those solid soil or stone mamas like to crack when they get to buy in market centers? I wonder why they eat those soils!
May be I forgot others, additions are welcome.
