I am absolutely thrilled with the variety of words that use my favorite word: nam = water.
Hong nam = room water (water room) = bathroom
nam kang = water hard = ice
nam poeng = bee water = honey
nam nuk = nose water = snot
So you use lime water and bee water to cure your nose water--they put salt in the recipe, pretty helpful, actually.
