Do Somalis have any additional Nilo-Saharan ancestry on top of our base AEA? I heard that there is evidence of a second admixing event between lowland Cushites and a Nilotic population similar to the Dinka because the Somali language supposedly contains key Nilo-Saharan loanwords in the lexicon for things like "stone" and "water". It may also be the reason why Dinkas are used as a proxy for our SSA ancestry.
