Compound Nouns in Af-Soomaali. Some examples like "Bat" and "Cannibalism"
As you’ll probably know by now, I have a weird obsession with words and language in general. I hope it won’t be a shock to you then, that today, I want to talk about compound nouns and compound verbs. The basic structure of this blog piece is as follows: 1. I’ll do a brief explanation of what a compound noun/verb is. 2. I’ll then provide examples of compound nouns and verbs in the Somali language. In each case, I’ll provide very brief commentary.
