It certainly does and I've added it. Thanks again for another good contribution.
In the middle of a word it's more of an "mp" but to be sure listen to it here from a native speaker:

Listening to the speaker here on DL, at either speed, I swear I hear an -MV-, rather than an -MP- or -MB- in κάμπος....
Which is the difference between "ο κάμπος" and "Το χωράφι"? I'm italian and, for me, they both refer to a piece of land where you grow vegetals ...
"ο κάμπος" refers to a much larger area than "το χωράρφι". "Κάμπος" also translates to "plain", "flatland". More formally it's known as "η πεδιάδα".
"Το χωράφι" "field" is smaller and refers to what someone is cultivating, or where they are growing produce.
Thanks a lot, I just have to keep it in mind ... As I said, in Italian normally we use the same word "campo" or specific words as "prato" (a place with grass where you can walk, sit, play, ecc) or "pascolo" (where you grow animals like cows, horses, ...)
So also Spanish campo. The Roman field of Mars, Campus Martius, used to be a large open field, which corresponds to plain or flatland area.
