 * Thai entered to mean to recite a mantra. The sum is สวด ‎(“to recite”) +‎ มนต์ ‎(“mantra”).
 * I am inclined to keep since this is present in http://dictionary.sanook.com/search/สวดมนต์ as "to pray", but that is a weak argument. One difficulty is that Thai does not use spaces for word separation. --Dan Polansky (talk) 14:38, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think this word simply means "to pray" (intransitive) +  (มนต์ is a variant of ). The verbal noun  is included in Sanook as well.
 * is also defined in two other online dictionaries: and . The definition is "to pray". --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:28, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

As a native speaker, I'd like to confirm that "สวดมนต์" never means "to pray". To pray (to offer a prayer) is generally translated as "ภาวนา" in Thai. "สวดมนต์" just means to recite/chant a mantra (or any other religious formula). --หมวดซาโต้ (talk) 10:52, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
