[Ads-l] Q: M silent in MN?

[W Brewer]

Phnom Penh (. . . formerly romanized as Panomping) is the capital and
largest city of Cambodia.
Marvelous Wikipedia gives two anglicized pronunciations,
with /p9n-/ and /n-/. (Plus Khmer [phn-].)
Illustrates a rivalry between Gallic [pn-] vs. Anglophone initial
cluster shapes.
