spices = xawaash, whether it's 1 type or mixed. 1 type are also given their own name, e.g. fenugreek = xulbad, cinnamon = qurfe, cardamom = hayl.

http://xawaash.com/?p=12#sthash.RGOOFSo5.dpbsin the southern regions of Somalia, Xawaash refers to the spice mix that is added to savoury dishes: meats, stews, soups, etc. However, in the northern parts of Somalia, Xawaash is used in a broader sense and it refers to any spice mix, even the spices that are added to tea and coffee.
