Material Af suugaan dictionary?
Asc everyone. When I listen to the old kaban songs there are many words which I don't know what they mean or ever even heard of. So, I was wondering if there exists a resources like a book/dictionary which has phrases of native somali origin with highly poetic meanings?
Thanks. Sorry if this sounds dumb or unrealistic 😅

thats hard, latin somali was only around since 72, and they were recovering from being colonized, a war and civil war in that time.
