Vowels

1. Simple
i e a o u == ii ee aa oo uu


2. Umlaut
The ten Somali umlaut vowels are omitted. Therefore, in Latin you can't distinguish between "Dirir" a man's name and "dirir" to fight. Also between "diid" meaning refuse and "diid" meaning faint or "tuug"meaning thief and "tuug" meaning beg earnestly.
