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.
