Talk:ភក្ខ

(Notifying Stephen G. Brown, Wyang, Octahedron80): : I can't find ភក្ខ and ភក្ស in dictionaries, not sure about the exact pronunciation and respelling. Please assist.

And CAT:Khmer terms without km-IPA template is very large still... --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 07:10, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

I think these are considered suffixes and they are hard to find in dictionaries. As a suffix, you can find មនុស្សភក្ស (mɔnuh-pʰeak, cannibal, man-eater), លោហិតភក្ខ (loohǝt-pʰeak, blood-sucking insect or animal), លោហិតភក្ស (loohǝt-pʰeak, blood-sucking insect or animal). Search for ភក្សា (pʰeaksaa, food, meal)... that should help with the first syllable. Its respelling seems to be ភ័ក-សា (phĕəksaa). A final subscript consonant is often not pronounced, so the respellings of ភក្ខ and ភក្ស should be ភ័ក (phĕək).

I don't know what you all are doing with CAT:Khmer terms without km-IPA template. Trying to make respellings seems almost impossible, and trying to use the new transcription system is just as hard. —Stephen ^(Talk) 09:01, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

@Stephen G. Brown: For some reason I didn't get back to this, sorry. Now I got around and added the respellings and your respellings are right. Please see the Wikicode for both this entry and ភក្ស (phĕək). I'm happy to provide case-by-case explanations about the respelling and how to map it to Sealang dictionary and how to use WT:KM TR. If you start with short words, you get the hang of it. I struggled myself at first with longer words. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 11:12, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
