[edit] Romanization
I feel that this article should be changed from "Korng Thomm" to "Kong Thom." The [r] there in korng is superfluous. And he word Thom (large) is more commonly romanized with only one M (and the second M is also superfluous) such as in Angkor Thom. A search on Google will bring many results for the term "kong thom" while "korng thomm" does bring many results as well, most are from Wikipedia-like sites which have copied from this article. Goolgle Search Also for Korng tauch, I think it should be retitled "Kong toch." The Khmer word for "small" is more commonly romanized as toch or touch to a lesser extent. "Tauch" also reflects poor romanization in my opinion. This is all thanks to Dr. Sam-ang Sam who also romanizes the word for dance as "robaim" when it is more commonly romanized as "robam." --Hecktor 07:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This should be merged with kong toch
Kong toch and kong thom is the same thing, except they are different sizes. They should be merged into one article called kong vong. They are then divided into sizes, like kong vong thom and kong vong toch. I'll be doing this later; just letting it be known. --Dara 10:17, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose They are different instruments not the same - therefore there is not sufficient justification to merge on grounds of similarity. I'll tell you what Dara, instead if you expand one of these to start class, I'll expand the other - deal? Paxse 15:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
