Hi,

]
] Dear list,
]

] the Thai character names look like this:
]
] 0E01 THAI CHARACTER KO KAI
] 0E02 THAI CHARACTER KHO KHAI
] 0E03 THAI CHARACTER KHO KHUAT
]
] I wonder what the `ko' and `kho' parts actually mean, since the `kai',
] `khai', etc. final parts already define an unambiguous name for the
] particular character.
]
] How do Thai people alphabetize a word? Do they say `ko kai', `kho
] khai', ... or do they say `kai', `khai', ...?

We do say 'ko kai', 'kho khai' , .... since the 1st day we learn Thai
language in school.... ;)
