Pronunciation
Noun
เอกโทษ • (èek-tôot)
- a kind of Thai word that is normally spelled with the second tone mark (ไม้โท (mái-too)) but then spelled with the first tone mark (ไม้เอก (mái-èek)), in order to fit in the tone-forced poem (โคลง (kloong)), and it is still pronounced the same. For example, เข้า (kâo) becomes เค่า (kâo), ถ้า (tâa) becomes ท่า (tâa). Some words are the obsolete spellings.
