Kevin, "Yang ban" is also pretty unambiguous if
you use the correct transcription -- not two
words but one, and not capitalized either. Sure,
there is also yangban with the meaning both
sites, both ways, but that is used rather seldom,
and if looking at the semantics of its use you
would always know. In cases where there are rare
or medieval terms used -- a good example are
'shaman' texts/narrations -- most scholars have
since ever listed the han'gûl and/or hanja in the
glossary.
