Talk:ហ្វឹក


 * Hi all. I've got two questions: What's the Thai source and are all four pronunciations valid per Sealang or do you think it's a mistake/mistransliteration? See also Talk:ហ្វៃហ្វា where it was mentioned. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:54, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Octahedron80 has added the Thai etymology. (I still remember the laughter in the classroom when learning the word, hehe.) I don't know the answer to the second question. It could be the case that Headley 1977 was based on Chuon Nath 1967, which had the respelling  , and that he rectified it to the (more common?) spelling pronunciation  in the 1997 edition.

 * , has only two pronunciations: either ʋɨk/fɨk or ʋək/fək. It's just two different systems for describing the vowel. —Stephen (Talk) 02:54, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Yes, we suspect these could be two different transliterations methods of the same vowel but one of them could be wrong because we stick to just one system.
 * Both ʋ- and f- readings are possible but it's not clear, which vowels are correct. /ɨ/ and /ə/ are different vowels and both are currently used.
 * Since "វ" (v) and the digraph "ហ្វ" (f) belong to different classes/series, their default readings (without diacritics to convert to a different class) are different. "វឹក" gives "vɨk" and "ហ្វឹក" gives "fək". To get "vək" and "fɨk" I used respellings with diacritics in the template "វ៉ឹក" and "ហ្វ៊ឹក": . If one pair is considered incorrect, I will remove it. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:10, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe all readings are valid but they differ in frequency/currency. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:11, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
