Tosco (1994) [8] ya lura cewa Heine ya yarda da labarin tarihi na biyu, kuma kamar yadda Tosco (1994:155) ya ci gaba da bayyana:

I suppose that the "backwardness" of the cultural and economic way of life of the hunter-gatherers is probably at the very core of these theories: notwithstanding the dangers implicit in any strong association between culture and language, these people are assumed to be "linguistic survivors", because they are—presumably—"cultural survivors". These theories do not take into account that language shift is probably a much more recurrent phenomenon than any romantic association between people and culture leads us to assume.

Wani ra'ayi mai fafatawa, kuma watakila daidai yake da shi a cikin wannan yanayin kamar yadda labarin farko na Heine, Tosco (1994:159) ya gabatar da shi wanda ke danganta fitowar Aweer da fadada masu magana da Garre daga arewa maso gabas:

According to Garre traditions, the movement began "from an area located at or near the present-day settlement of Luuq, down the right side of the Jubba river. The expansion took the form of sections of the Garre communities spreading from Afmadow southwards until they reached the Jubba-Tana region, where they "coexisted with Dahaloan hunter-gatherers"; their "impact led the Dahaloan food collectors to give up their Dahaloan tongue for Garre. To this day the Aweer ... speak dialects of Garre. All that remains of their Dahaloan speech is a single community near the coast ..., even the lexicon has been influenced by Garre" (Ali 1985:161ff)[10]. Thus, for Ali the Boni are Dahalo that have been Somalised, just as many centuries before these hunter-gatherers had given up their original (?) Khoisan[11] language and adopted a Cushitic language, i.e. Dahalo.

Daga nan sir- ya lura cewa a cikin wani aiki mai zuwa da za a buga, Tosco (1992), [12] cewa akwai rance na Gabashin Omo-Tana (ko a cikin kalmominsa, "Somali") asalin Dahalo wanda kawai Aweer ko Garre ne zai iya ba da rance, kamar aikatau šir- (IPA: [ʃir-]) 'don kasance a can, don wanzu' wanda ke nuna canjin sauti *k > [ʃ] /_i da aikatau ba a buƙata ba- (IP: [ʔunneːd]) 'to swallower da aka samu a cikin wani canjice] / / / / Garer Sabanin haka, waɗannan na iya zama rance daga Aweer zuwa Dahalo.
