Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

While '𐒎𐒜𐒄𐒘𐒈' is a transliteration, '𐒔𐒖𐒓𐒐𐒕𐒖𐒇' (subroutine) is a more common and natural way to express the concept of defining something in Somali programming contexts. It aligns better with the idea of creating a reusable block of code.
