1.   [adjective]
definition
[Thai customary and dutiful kindness, deference, gratitude, and reciprocation towards elders] [is] deferential; grateful for

notesSpecial case in Thai typography: notice that the small curl under the second in this word is completely replaced with the อู vowel. Unicode processors should display this correctly.

The following image (a.) illustrates the conflict that can occur with a TIS-620 font or in a non-Unicode environment. The TIS-620 character set offers a lower version of อู (b.) which must be selected in this case, since the is not available without the curl. This lower baseline creates a problem with many software programs—the symbols are often clipped off.
