:::@EthiopianHabesha: Morin's conclusion is that Galla may have been a '''"political term"''' in parts of Ethiopia, which is what the article is saying. I therefore do not understand your concern. If you want the acknowledgment of Afar language, we can word that in. If you want the acknowledgment of "in Afar, it could have been general Cushitic groups", we can word that in. We just need to be careful in not over-emphasizing Afar language perspective here because it is very similar to Saho-language, with roots closer to Djibouti and Eritrea, which is far from southern regions where Oromo origins and history have been. Please read the whole chapter of Morin on all of this, or look at the demographic maps [https://www.ethnologue.com/language/aar here] and [https://www.ethnologue.com/language/ssy here]. Frankly, we are not making progress because you are evading my questions and repeating yourself in ways that neither reflects this article nor the source we are discussing.

::::[[User:Ms Sarah Welch|Ms Sarah Welch]], my concern is why censor on Morin's statment saying the term Galla was used to refer Afar people (generally, used to refer all high & low social classes of Afar people) as well as Cushitic speaking groups? Morin mentioned "''political term''" to explain how the term was used in Amda Seyon chronicle, and the word 'political' is not associated with the three definitions defined by the Afar people as 1)crowd (ignored in your summary), 2)foreign and 3)Ordinary people (emphasized in your summary). Therfore, when including 'political' in your summary it should be included based on what the writer is exactly implying and if not it is considered Synthesis. — [[User:EthiopianHabesha|EthiopianHabesha]] ([[User talk:EthiopianHabesha|talk]]) 17:59, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

@EthiopianHabesha: you keep repeating WP:Synthesis, but evade answering what "new synth conclusion" is made or implied in the article. Are you suggesting that we add "crowd" as additional definition, or add "Cushitic group"-related wording, or both?
