I'm no linguistic purist but I believe somali should use its own base words to coin new words. And we should keep the base words that have so thoroughly been engraved in our language for example
1. Word
Kalimad/erey
2. But
Laakin/ balse
3. Face
Weji/ fool
4. Half
Nus/ bar or badh
Arabic words that have debased somali words should be favoured more in place of pure somali words like these top 4. Coining new words should mean we use popular root words.
We also need to coin somali words for science
Biology = nafaqon
Psychology = maskaxaqon
Dutch icelandic & german do this which helps layman much more than just throwing latin and greek vocabulary. And lastly we need to standardise and simplfy the orthography.
