สุภา

Etymology edit
From Middle Khmer subhā, sūbhā (“court; court of justice; member of a court: justice, judge; etc”), ultimately from Pali sabhā (“assembly; congregation; convention; etc”) or Sanskrit सभा (sabhā, “assembly; meeting”), from which Thai สภา (sà-paa) was derived. Cognate with Modern Khmer សភា (saʼphiə), សុភា (sophiə).
