According to Pascha Polyglotta, it is "Ciise wuu soo daalacey ; runtii wuu soo daalacey." In Somali, the letter C corresponds to the Arabic 'ayn (this guy: ﻉ, representing a voiced pharyngeal fricative); long vowels are represented orthographically by doubling the letter.

D'uh! I thought I checked Paschal Polyglotta without any results. Thanks.

Pronunciation of Somali words seems rather cryptic. It could be fun to learn the language some day but I fear that I'd never learn how to properly pronounce it.

I don't know. It doesn't seem very hard to me. The writing system and its correspondence to the spoken language seems pretty transparent, with the notable exception of lacking tone markers. If I recall correctly, Somali only has two tones, so it's probably easy to get a hang of once you're used to hearing the spoken language.

I worked in a Somali-related project for some time and just about every time I tried to pronounce some Somali word to an actual Somali he/she didn't understand what I was talking about. Cheesy
