Sheep
Lax is the sheep, strictly a ewe. Somali sheep are the fat-tailed kind with a black head, and the word comes up constantly in countryside life and stories. Lax is feminine: the sheep is laxda. The plural is ido, which is also the everyday word for sheep in general.

Point at the real thing and say "Lax" whenever it comes up, then let your child hear the native recording and say it back. One word used ten times in a day beats ten words drilled once. In the Luuqad app, Lax is taught with a picture, tested in the Animals quiz and practised in Baadiyo Journey and Animal Trails.
