Question
Why does this have a long vowel ī at the end? Was it contaminated by ? Wyang (talk) 01:50, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * It has nothing to do with . The word is not a compound and is not influenced by . It is normal that the vowel in a term gets prolonged despite the source term containing a short vowel, or vice versa. Examples are  and, both from 🇨🇬. Such modification, called , can be made to vowels, letters, tones, etc, and might have been influenced by the Khmer language, where a similar feature is found. Other forms of  include , , , , etc. --iudexvivorum (talk) 05:41, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * What is happening to transliterations?! --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:51, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * User:Isomorphyc is in the middle of reorganising the transliteration / transcription structure, so that a display of both modes of romanisation can be made possible in circumstances where they are useful. Wyang (talk) 06:08, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
