Understanding somali

[SOULSEARCHING]

My mom was telling me this morning her cousin called her from back home and he needed some help, anyways I asked her if my uncle has camel's and she told me he has 10 NEEF

I asked her what is a neef?
Mum: 10 NEEF oo geel
I replied : hoyo is neef a baby camel or a older camel
Mum: Neef is NEEF, he has 10 NEEF.
Me : yes I know neef is neef and he has 10
But is it baby camel's
Mum: look it's the same as 10 halad of Ari
Me: hoyo you not listening to what I'm saying, I repeat myself again
Mum: NEEF could be a mix of baby and mature camel's.
Me : finally loool

neef in somali comes from the arabic word nafs which means soul, so when I hear that I word I recognise it as 10 living camels.I could be wrong but thats just how I see it.
