are you going to make new definitions in the somali dictionary? Yalax means silk hair, Yalaxoow means one with silk hair.

Thats the way it i got told.I'm pretty sure it is correct. A word can have multiple definitions. A babys hair is always ''silky'' atleast from all the ones i seen.

The trick to this names is that u have to now what the prefix or suffix means --and the rest is history --for example

the suffix "San"=means goodness
the suffix "same"= means wellness or goodness

Warsan--goodnews
Warsame--goodnews
Baxsan--coolness
Absame--good-geonology
Filsan---good-age

BTW: Liban --is Arabic
