คำผวน

khamM phuaanR

pronunciation guide
Phonemic Thai	คำ-ผวน
IPA	kʰam pʰǔːan
Royal Thai General System	kham phuan

[noun, phrase, colloquial]

definition

inversely combined word or vowel relocation technique, the Thai pun technique in which a word is reversed and re-combined. The pronunciation will change but it will connote the same hidden meaning. Almost like the "Pig Latin" technique.

notes

e.g. ตาราง n. a table, cell, prison ตางรา — the original vowels are reversed. The new word appears nonsensical but contains a hidden meaning of the original word ตาราง. More examples: สีแดง becomes แสงดี; หมายตา becomes หมาตาย.
