I just asked the same question of Cambodia (and would appreciate your responses
on this thread as we need to transliterate Sanskrit/Pali with the Khmer script
as well).
At the moment I am aware of two explicit (different forms of the word 'to
give', AWEE)
U17B2 + U17D2 + U1799
U17B1 + U17D2 + U1799
and two implicit occurances in Khmer (where the independent vowel includes a
final consonant [but does not substantially affect the ordering]):
U17A8 (final U1780)
U17AA (final U179C)
