I am pronouncing it, Lay Oh Lahm.

Not like Lamb.

This is how I hear it.

Lahm sounds like larm in the word alarm

When I do it, Lahm rhymes with "Tom" or "bomb"

With my accent, rhyming with "alarm" would not work. NAP pronunciations are confusing though, keep in mind that the author lived in Canada, but I believe he spent time in South Africa, London, among other locations. We don't definitely know his "point of reference" so you have to experiment and take direction from your inner teacher as well.

Phonetically this just doesnt make any sense. I dont see how you can turn 'ah' into the sound of an 'o'

Like I said, we all have accents. How do you turn "arm" into "ahm"? Phonetically, the "r" completely changes the sound in my part of the world. In your accent, they are identical. That is fine. I pronounce ah like o, with my accent they are identical, I'm not "changing" anything. That's all I'm going to say. :roll:

Sorry. I understand you now. I have written to authors of books before asking for a pronunciation guide of mantras as we can speak wildly differently.
