The singular sorda and the plural sorde in the feminine and the singular sordo and the plural sordiin the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English word "deaf." Context makes clear whether the female (cases 1, 2), male (examples 3, 4) or mixed female and male (instance 4) audience is of one (options 1, 3) or more (samples 2, 4). The respective pronunciations will be "SOR-da" or "SOR-dey" in the feminine and "SOR-do" or "SOR-dee" in the masculine in Pisan Italian.
