@Wyang: Hi Frank. Is this right? Sealang says "tok". I've just made two readings. My small dictionary says "dto". --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:28, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Atitarev Hi Anatoli. I think we should just keep the 'tok' pronunciation. I remember reading somewhere that this is an irregularly spelt word. Let me see if I can find it. Wyang (talk) 08:49, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Atitarev Found it. On pp. 70 of Cambodian System of Writing and Beginning Reader, Huffman writes that តុ (tok) is “one example of an unwritten final /-k/”. Wyang (talk) 08:58, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Wyang: You're good with resources, thanks! @Octahedron80, Stephen G. Brown: @Octahedron80, this one doesn't make sense either (diff) but there you go. :) . --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 09:42, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Concerning the diacritic អុ (a-series [o], o-series [u]): In a stressed syllable with no written final consonant, this vowel is followed by a glottal stop [ʔ], or by [k] in the word តុ (tok, "table"). I think that "to" is incorrect, although it might be heard in some dialects or locales. —Stephen (Talk) 11:17, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Stephen G. Brown: Thank you, Stephen. I have swapped them and made "tok" the main pronunciation. I wouldn't use the expected "toʾ" at all but my other source gives it. Sealang seems much more reliable and consistent, though but it also has some misspellings. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 11:58, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
