Two new acquisitions from Somalia

[Yvain]

Thanks Detlef!



As usual, the name game can be tricky! I thought "tooray" only referred to this type of dagger with a fin like grip, but I can definitely see the similarity. At the same time, the influence from the billao and gile are undeniable and does blur the line between those different types of Somalian daggers.
