Same with Somali. The first hour of daylight is hal saac (Hour 1)

7 AM is 1 Saac ( Hour 1)

6 PM is 12 Saac ( Hour 12)

7 PM is 1 Saac

6 AM is 12 Saac

How do you distinguish AM/PM? How does one say that something will happen 19:00 specifically, and not 07:00?

Morning and Afternoon are used for AM and PM, or if you want to be really specific you can use the name of the hour, for example 10 am is called barqo, and 18 hours is called himhimmow
