Meaning of name

Kamayut is a Mon name but I'm quite certain it doesn't mean "Khmer", which is a relatively new term in Burmese. The name of the Khmer people in old Burmese (prior to the colonial period) was Gywan (ဂျွမ်း, [dʑwáɴ]), (which probably came from Mon!) The current Burmese word for the Khmer people (ခမာ, [kʰəmà]) is a direct transliteration of "Khmer", a French spelling whose actual pronunciation isn't "Khama" as we pronounce it. So I highly doubt that "Kama" comes from "Khmer".

So please provide a citation. Otherwise, I'll have to remove it. Thanks. Hybernator (talk) 16:19, 25 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
