Had a wee conversation with the boss tonight over dinner and we were talking about thr difference that tones can make. At the moment everyone is wishing each other "sawadee pee mai" I asked her what difference the tones could make to that and the answers ranged from, Happy new sister, brother or fabric funnily enough, or an un-understandable new brother or sisters fabric, I think. At that point I gave up. Seems also, and I didn't know before, that Pee is said like a combination of P and B together. The mind boggles.

The thing is, with the context of the conversation you can chuck a bunch of those 'alternative' meanings away in many cases, the context makes it obvious what is being discussed
