Day 2

Khmer Phonetic English Keyboard
គ្ងទ de'k bum shift+k, j g, shift+t
ជង្ដង់ joo-ung-goo-ung knee shift+c, g j d, g, '
ជើង jerng leg shift+c ;, g
ែកង​​​ៃដ elbow shift+e, k, g, space, shift+s, d
ៃដ dai arm shift+s, d
ក្ប្ាល g'baal head k j b, a, l
សក់ sok hair s, k, '


Note that hand and arm, foot and leg are the same word. Khmer uses context and (I think based on a hazy remembrance!) classificationy words to indicate what is being referred to.

I can't find a phonetic translation for elbow, and my kids can only remember the Vietnamese, so that will be added tomorrow.
