There is no wordlist for this text. Instead, you have to practice using a dictionary, such as Qaamuus Af Soomaali or a printed dictionary. If you run into difficulties, you can always ask your fellow students in the Questions & Answers discussion forum. If you feel that a certain word is missing in Qaamuus Af Soomaali, please point that out in the Errors & Improvements discussion forum, and I will add it to the dictionary.
