លោកអ្នកឧកញ៉ា
Khmer
Etymology
លោក (louk, “sir”) + អ្នក (neak, “a polite term of address in Khmer society for someone without calling their name directly”) + ឧកញ៉ា (ʔokɲaa, “the second highest royal title”). This is a title for a classical Khmer official which was coined in the eighteenth century, replacing the much older សម្ដេចចៅពញា (sɑmdach chav pɲie), an ancient high military rank.
