Sainik. It means soldier.

I keep hearing a sort of "Pompey" pronunciation that could pass for
either. Maybe it's my ears.


You are probably referring to "Bambai".


Thanks but, no, I'm not. I'm referring to when people try to say both names
at the same time so as not to offend anyone.

It's all politically dressed-up Portuguese, anyway.
