Somaliland dialect and Arabic loan words

Rooti maybe. Feero and Banooni are Somali, Banooni comes from Banbanooni which is a football lookalike spherical shaped vegetable. Reer Waqooyi even say ''Timaha feedhayso'' meaning straighten them. Straightening hair and clothes are the same thing. Feero from Feerayn like Qaado from Qaadis.
But out of 18 words you just got one foreign word. You could've mentioned many Italian words used in PL but those aren't for things that have been there for so long. Still I got my point, Reer Waqooyi using Arabic loan words is something so conspicuous even if we wanted to not give attention to.
Banbabooni kulaha its barbarooni which is also italian. Feero is italian aswell
