morpheme: Sudano

morpheme_head: Sudano

affix_form: Sudano-

etymology: The form 'Sudano-' appears to be a constructed or erroneous representation rather than a standard Arabic morpheme. In Arabic, 'Sudan' is a proper noun (Sūdān) and does not function as a productive prefix with the form 'Sudano-'. The example word 'Sudanese' is typically formed in English via the suffix '-ese' attached to 'Sudan', or in Arabic via the nisba adjective 'Sūdānī' (سوداني), which uses the root س-و-د-ن. There is no attested Arabic prefix 'Sudano-' meaning 'Sudan'. Therefore, the record likely contains a hallucinated or non-standard linguistic entry.
