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.

Woodstock, Foodapalooza, Bookapalooza, Jazzapalooza

From the brand name 'Woodstock' (often misspelled or stylized as 'Woodstock' but popularized via 'Woodstock' and later 'Woodstock' derivatives, specifically the 1969 festival, though the suffix is often traced to 'Woodstock' or 'Woodstock'-like place names, but more accurately it is a back-formation from 'Woodstock' or simply a colloquial suffix derived from the proper noun 'Woodstock' which itself is a place name, but in modern usage it is an English productive suffix meaning 'a large gathering'. However, strictly speaking, it is not a classical etymon. It is a modern English formation. Let's look closer. 'Apalooza' is a variant of 'Woodstock' suffix? No, it's from 'Woodstock' -> 'Woodstock-ian'? No. It is from the 1969 festival 'Woodstock'. The suffix -alooza is derived from the name 'Woodstock' via a process of folk etymology or simply association with the word 'Woodstock' which sounds like 'Woodstock'. Actually, it is widely cited as being derived from the 1969 music festival 'Woodstock'. The suffix is -alooza. The root is 'Woodstock'. So the ancestor is English (proper noun).
