Af Soomaali

[Octavius]

What are some Somali compound words?

I ask this cuz lots of Somali words that are no longer used on a daily basis are contained within compound words that we now assume to be single words:

Waaberi ( waa & beri)
Quraac (qur/qudh & raac)
Saaddambe (saad & dambe)
Fooldhaq (fool & dhaq)
...

Warsan - war (news) + san (good).
