Confusing Somali words:

1: Cali Dameer buu keenay
Ok, what kind of Dameer does Cali brough here? Is it a male or a Female Dameer? Confusing to distinguish (this is only in writing)

2: Caa'isha Dibbi bay keentay...
How many of them are we referring here? 1, 2, 3 or 5 or More?


How could we fix to get the correct meanings of these statements? You see, Pronunciation and Spelling may some times be different in Somali..
