* Swahili uses different prefixes for different classes of nouns, so there may be slight variations depending on the context. For example, "mtu" can be "mwanaume" (man) or "mwanamke" (woman) depending on the gender.
* Many words are borrowed from Arabic, English, and other languages, so there may be overlaps in meaning.
