About the second example, the Somali alphabet is under developed, there are sounds where you pronounce it different but write it the same. The D in medicine and watch are pronounced differently, this started controversy from the beginning between those pro Latin alphabet and others, and because the regime was pro Latin alphabet, they argued that ppl can differentiate between the two Ds.
Other examples of the issue with Latin alphabet:
Daad = torrent/stream : the D is pronounced like ض
Daah = curtain : the D pronounced like D
Dad = people : the D pronounced like ض
Dibs = backward: the D pronounced D
Dab = fire : pronounced with ض
i've heard waan ku caseyna! Meaning i will best you until u turn red, but never qof cas.
since we are a descriptive people i mean.
i know we pronounce them different, but it as you say adopting the latin alphabet, instead of the Osmaniya script or the others that would accommodate our language better was a mistake.
