UKT: Be careful of Bur-Myan spelling in the name. {ku.la:} means 'relative' and NOT 'coloured'. The word for 'coloured' is spelled {ka.la:}. The name of Albizia saman should be changed to {koak~ko-hka:} because the leaves are not eaten due to bitterness, or to {koak~ko-ni} due to its reddish flowers. Albizia labbek would then be {koak~ko-hpru} -- UKT130101
