It's difficult to spell it in English.

Lao is a tonal language, a written word in English can have different meanings.

Here are the translated Lao-English pronunciations of these terms from the jungle of Laos (as I recalled hearing my folks talking):

'Porn' = Rain
'Fon' = Dance
'Pon' = Slow down?

Have you ever heard of a country song called 'Rain Is A Good Thing' by Luke Bryan?
