Tips

usage

A three-syllable transliteration: 孟 mèng for 'Mom-/Mon-', 波 bō for '-bo-/-po-', 斯 sī for the closing '-s'. Could correspond to Mompós (the Colombian colonial town on UNESCO's list, 圣克鲁斯德蒙波斯), or a personal name like Mombos. The 斯 ending is a near-universal Mandarin marker for foreign names ending in -s.
