Etymology
From Pali sabhā (“assembly; congregation; convention; etc”) or Sanskrit सभा (sabhā, “assembly; meeting”), possibly via Old Khmer sabhā (“council, court of justice; member of a council or court; council chamber, tribunal”). Cognate with Middle Khmer subhā, sūbhā (“court; court of justice; member of a court: justice, judge; etc”), from which Thai สุภา (sù-paa, “court; judge”) was derived, and cognate with Northern Thai ᩈᨽᩣ, Lao ສະພາ (sa phā), Shan သၽႃး (sǎ pháa), and Modern Khmer សភា (saʼphiə), សុភា (sophiə).
