Why does Shep continue to see “Pongo Pongo?”

Isn’t it Pago Pago?

The name was given during the brief occupation by Germany. In old German, certain letters of the alphabet have an implicit "n" added before it. "G" is one of them. I don't know enough German to identify the others.

The "Pango Pango" pronunciation is correct.
