หอ นำ

haawR nahmM

pronunciation guide
Phonemic Thai	หอ-นำ
IPA	hɔ̌ː nɑm
Royal Thai General System	ho nam

[noun]

definition

in Thai grammar, the name of the special function of the consonant ห in which it causes a subsequent low-class, sonorant consonant (ง, ณ, ญ, น, ม, ย, ร, ล, or ว) to determine its tone as if it were a high-class consonant. In this way, the syllable can obtain—depending on the vowel, final consonant type, and tone mark—a low, rising, or falling tone.
