I might be able to help with some, our Sigung used a very old fashioned dialect of Cantonese, so I may be wrong... Please don't take my post as absolute. When Chinese is Romanized, much is lost in the translation, and spelling is widely varied. :)
fahn jong choy - 'fahn' usually means to reverse or inverted ( as in 'fahn gok choy' - inverted hook punch), jong choy is 'crashing fist'. I personally have seen or heard of 'fahn jong choy', but I would guess 'inverted crashing fist'
pow choy - my understanding is it means 'canon fist' or straight (long) armed uppercut
chin gee choy- not sure, sorry
biu jong- 'biu' means 'to dart' or 'spear' i think. a shorter version of jong choy
been choy - our version of CLF ( Green Cloud) spells it 'biin', but it essentially means 'whipping fist'
lao jerng - not sure
yum jerng - i believe it's a palm to groin. 'liu yum teui' is groin aggitating kick in our version
biu jee- again, 'biu' is 'darting' or 'spearing', jee ( we spell it 'jih') is finger
dahn na- not sure, 'na' means 'lock' or ' control' ( 'chin na' or 'kahm na')
kong jerng - not sure about 'kong', jerng ( or 'jueng') usually means 'palm'
cham kiu- 'sinking bridge arms', 'cham' means 'to sink', 'kiu' is 'bridge arm'
poon kiu - ' clinging bridge arm' , 'poon sau' ( which we call it) is 'clinging block'
chang fu girk- not sure. 'fu' means 'tiger'
oi buy leen toi- well, 'bai liin teui' is outside crescent kick. otherwise i'm not sure
king nai - not sure
Hope some of this helps

RAIN,
Seeing you really wanted to know, this is my interpretation.....
- fahn jong choy
Counter crashing (=fahn jong) as in throwing an elbow strike upward.
- pow choy
To throw (=pow) a punch as in an upper cut going from low to high diagonally across your body.
- chin gee choy ( i don't not if this is the right way to writing )
To strike in the form of the character for Chin (=chin gee and chin is a thousand), that is from left to right or right to left in a slight angle, since the first stroke for the character "chin" is in a slight angle.
- biu jong
Clash by charging (=biu jong), that is to strike as though you are charging into your opponent.
- been choy ( this is the horizontal fist after the second sow choy in che kuen ? )
Horizontal strike as though you are cracking a whip (=been).
- lao jerng
To scoop up (=lao) with you leg or to scoop up your opponent's leg.
- yum jerng
To strike with your palm facing down (yum=yin), as opposite to yeung jeurng - to strike with your palm facing up.
- biu jee
To strike by charging forward (=biu) with your fingers (=jee).
- dahn na
I think you mean dahn (=single) lan (=block) - to block with one arm, usually horizontally as in chil sou dahn lan. Dahn na can mean to grab with single hand.
- kong jerng
To strike upward with the palm (kong=to push up).
- cham kiu
To block down or to strike downward with your forearm (cham=to sink, kiu=bridge=forearm).
- poon kiu
Circular block (=poon) with your forearm.
- chang fu girk
Kick as though you are pushing against a ferocious tiger (chang fu) with the heel of your foot.
- oi buy leen toi
Crescent kick outward. Literally means lotus leave swinging in the wind.
- king nai
To salute.
