Built from

From Old Khmer chloṅa, chlaṅa, c̈hlaṅya, chluṅa (“to mark the beginning (of), to inaugurate; to celebrate; to consecrate, to dedicate; to bring into effect (by religious or magical means); to carry across, to carry on, to pass on, to transmit, to communicate; etc”); or Pre-Angkorian Old Khmer cloṅ (idem); or Angkorian Old Khmer chloṅ, chloṅṅ, chlaṅ (idem). Extended as caṃloṅa, from which Thai จำลอง (jam-lɔɔng) is derived. Cognate with Modern Khmer ឆ្លង (chlɑɑng), Lao ສະຫລອງ (sa lǭng).
