• Nagathein 1-096:  {king-pwun:thi: (ba.ma)}
• UHM : NL.

Listed as {king-pwun:hkyiñ} in Myanmar Medicinal Plant Database 2005.
   The killed akshara used in the syllable {hkyiñ} is the "small {ña.}" {ña.ka.lé:}. It is entirely different from the vowel akshara {U.} whose shape is . The difference in the shapes of the two is in length of the "foot". Over time, {ña.ka.lé:} came to have the length of its foot shortened, and so at present the two look exactly the same, resulting in the modern way of representation .
   The mono-syllabic word {hkyiñ} means "sour" describing the taste of the tender leaves which are eaten as vegetable, and the name {king-pwun:hkyiñ} means "the sour {king-pwun:}". The fruit is called {king-pwun:thi: (ba.ma)} to differentiate it from the fruit of Sapindus trifoliatus another plant with the name {king-pwun:} prefixed {ku.la:} meaning "dark" or "Indian": {ku.la: king-pwun:}. It is a soap nut and is used for washing fine fabrics. See my note on Burmese-Myanmar adjectives

{kok~ko (mran-ma)}

Albizia lebbek

Family: Mimosaceae

UKT: the colour of fruit and bark given by FAO is not correct.

• Lè-seik-shin : NL
• KS-TMN 142: Kokko; Anya-kokko
• Nagathein 1-106: {kok~ko (mran-ma)}
• UHM : NL

UKT: Agri.Dept.2000, KS-TMN and Nagathein spelled Albizzia -- double "z", whereas Chklist and USDA-NRCS spelled it with single "z".

Note by Nagathein, pg 107, free translation by UKT: There was only one species in Myanmar before the British Annexation (in the 19th century). The British introduced another species to plant as shade trees along the road sides. The native species is known as {mran-ma kok~ko} syn. and the introduced species as {ku.la: kok~ko} syn. {kok~ko (ku.la:)}..
   Note by UKT: The word {ku.la:} was applied to the British because they came to Myanmar from India. They were known as the "White Indians". The two species of trees may be differentiated by the overall colour of their flowers: {mran-ma kok~ko} bears white flowers, whereas {ku.la: kok~ko} bears pink. The word {ku.la:} bearing some relation to the words "colored" or "black" does not imply any racism in Myanmar.
