For example: ENGLISH WORD THAI WORD MEANING WITH SIMILAR PRONUNCIATION «— π‡æÁ ≠ [wan-phen] (a girl name) one pen ¡√ [sa-mcn] (a girl name) small “¡“√∂ [saa-mâat] capable smart ‘È π°√√¡ [sîn-kam] end of karma sin gum ªíô π¢≈‘ ∫ [pân-khlìp] (name of Thai snack) pan clip øÑ “ [fáa] sky far °— π [kan] together gun If such words cannot be found, new words imitating the English form will be used.
