Talk:ហ្សីរ៉ាហ្វ


 * Hi guys. Do you have a way of verifying these two terms: and ? They are not in dictionaries. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:11, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

 * For the first word, see ហ្សីរ៉ាហ្វ. It is more likely from French than English due to historical and phonetic reasons.
 * កវែង also describes ហ្សីរ៉ាហ្វ in the page, it is some kind of adjective "having long neck and legs", thus it is not literally giraffe.
 * However, សត្វកវែង might colloquially mean giraffe.
 * កវែង is also used to describe ក្រៀល (crane, a kind of bird) either.

 * : I am not 100% sure about the pronunciation (/zəj.ˈraː/) either. Since there is no final /-f/, I made it silent but it's my assumption only. BTW, Google translate makes it silent too when converting text to speech and it also suggest both សត្វកវែង and សត្វហ្សីរ៉ាហ្វ as a translation for "giraffe". Not that I want to rely on Google translate but it's another hint, really limited resources. (I can't find reliable resources for chemical elements for Khmer and Lao). --Anatoli T.
