Languages have lots of cross-homophones. Hebrew is chock-full of them:
Hebrew word (transliterated pronunciation) = English meaning
dog = fish
boy = come here girl
he = she
who = he
me = who
die = stop it
new = well? so? what happened?
low = no
ken = yes
A little thing like Bibi's nickname meaning something else in Swahili won't phase him for a second.
