Challenge Af Somali.

[Garaannabad]

I challenge you to write a phrase with only authentic Somali words. Would you?

Shaqo= Hawl/Danoo. Aqbala= Yelaa. Laakin: Balse. Ilah, can be Somali too not just Arabic. Ahm, but for 'fadhlan' we don't have it's somali equivalent/ authentic word, I guess. I don't know.

In "balse" isn't "bal" the arabic "بل" which means "rather"? The problem is that "-se" is a suffix so you have to add another word to attach to it ideally
Also I am pretty sure "ilah" comes from "إله" indefinite of god (of which الله is probably a contraction of الإله)

You're correct. but look at this. I: from isaga and Leh: you know it means 'own'. So if we compound we got 'ilah'. so it got it's root in Somali too as it's in Arabic too.

And also I think this word 'Gudon' means 'Iqbal' so it's synonymous with 'ye'l' or let me say, it's another way to say 'ye'l'.

Is there a afsomali word for 'but' ? Similar to bal

I think that this word 'balse' is authentic Somali word for 'but'. It just that I can't prove it's roots. Maybe someone will help out us with this one word.

Right because I see it in many older somali poetry
