e/Sampot

Information
has gloss	eng: The sampot (សំពត់, ALA-LC: saṃbát, ) is a lower-body, wrap around cloth and is the national garment of Cambodia. The traditional dress is similar to those worn in the neighboring countries of Laos and Thailand where they are known as pha nung (ผ้านุ่ง), but variations do exist between the countries. The similarities can be explained by the fact that traditional Thai and Lao dress are derived from the Angkorian-style sampot when the Khmers had immense cultural influence on Lao and Thai culture. Both Sukhothai and Ayutthaya were provinces of the Angkor empire, and Lan Xang was formed by Fa Ngum, the Lao prince that resided in the Cambodian courts who later married a daughter of the Khmer king.
lexicalization	eng: sampot
instance of	(noun) an article of clothing; "garments of the finest silk" garment
