Lao + Pali + French + English Vocabulary Part 05

The Pali loan-words are now too numerous to comment on: note that Lao Xonnabot is a direct derivative of Pali Janapada, following the informal rules of transcription for the modern language (cf. my old website on the subject, here).  Pali khoma ("Linen") has ended up in Lao as khoma ("Canvas").  Pali Dhura ("office", and "responsibility", among other meanings) has ended up incorporated into tulakit, the Lao word for "business".  This is not exhaustive list, even for these few words.

Lao + Pali + French + English Vocabulary Part 04

Now that the lists have progressed into (more substantive) nouns and verbs, the connections between the Lao and the Pali vocabulary have become too numerous to comment on.  In several cases (even within this short list) there are Pali loan-words in the Lao column that are (nevertheless) unrelated to the Pali word corresponding to the same meaning (e.g., the equivalents to behavior, in the last illustration in this set).

Lao + Pali + French + English Vocabulary Part 03

This completes the first 100 items of vocabulary (working against a list exceeding 2000 words) --and it dispenses with some of the most annoying terms to render across languages.  The English words "even" and "quite" are especially poorly-suited to this type of word-list (with confusing equivalences across the columns) --but this sort of problem should be less frequent as we proceed into nouns and verbs.

If you're comparing each language to the other, there are a few etymological oddities to catch your eye here.  The Lao term for cholera is indeed transliterated from Pali, but the Pali origin here is ahivātakaroga… which is to say that an ancient term for the bubonic plague seems now to be used as a modern term for cholera.

Many of the disease names (not all) feature the Lao monosyllable Lok; you may know this as "world", transliterating Pali loka, but, in this context, it is in fact rendering the modern pronunciation of Pali roga (a word that you'll find near the top of the first illustration, next to Dr. Gachet).

The same logic underlies all of the terms for diabetes: the two syllables of Lao ເບົາຫວານ are conceptually equivalent to both the Pali and the Latin (diabetes mellitus), yet they hardly share a common syllable.

Meanwhile, the Pali verb vamati shares a common etymology with its French and English equivalents (requiring no explanation) --but not with the Lao hāk.

We have a number of words here that have no real equivalent in Pali due to the differences in grammar and syntax between the languages (and thus "n/a" appears several times) but this will be less frequent as the list proceeds into substantive nouns and verbs.  In this first set, almost none of the words are linked by etymology, but there is just one Lao word derived from Pali (see if you can spot it in the lists above).
