Commentary

The term laum̃ (= lauv or lov, also occuring in C. 30 B1) is recorded in the available dictionaries and translated there as ’Chinese’. However, it it possible that, originally, this word (identical to the Thai word used to name the modern state of Laos) suggests Thai-speaking populations. The possibility that the term lauv used in these inscriptions could designate a Lao population should be kept in mind.

Bibliography

A few words were read by Bergaigne (1888); some more by Aymonier (1891); partially summarised in English, by Majumdar (Majumdar 1985, p. 209), whence Golzio 2004, p. 183. It was studied in Jacques 1977–1978, pp. 1079–1080 but was integrally published for the first time by Lepoutre (2013), which publication is taken as point of departure here.
