About Moshabak Kaatun

Moshabak waa kaatun laga dhiirigeliyay shaabadaha shabaqyada leh ee daaqadaha guryaha duugga ah ee Faaris. Kaatunka waxaa lagu xidhaa farta oo lagu leexiyaa iftiinka, sidaas darteed qaabka furan ee shabaqyada wuxuu ku sameeyaa hoosad iyo qaabab gacanta ku dul dhaca. Qaabku waa mid dheellitiran oo cufnaantiisu fudud tahay. Qaansooyin farsamo-dhaqameed (ergonomic) oo dhinac walba ku yaal ayaa ku tiirsanaada farihii ku xigay si loo helo raaxo. Naqshadda waxaa lagu qaab-dhigay software saddex-cabbireed, waxaana lagu daabacay shaxamo (wax), kadibna lagu shubay dahab caleen ah oo 18 qiiraad ah leh nadaafad muraayad ah oo aad u dhalaalaya.
