Isn't it istiraasho or xaanshi?

I have heard xaanshi/xaashi

 

[Garaad diinle]

I also use xaanshi. Xaanshi could be used as a tissue or napkins, it could also mean a piece of cloth or a page of papper also called baal. I think istiraasho is made out of "is" "tir" meaning clean yourself so it'll be istir-aasho meaning cleaning material. Interesting. So we have aftir, santir and istir. Somali is an interesting language.
