Heart Attack the ONLY cause of death in KOW

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

I believe it is much like the Chinese zodiac calendar: you have the year of the heart attack, the year of the wind, the year of trees sucking out oxygen, the year of fainting, and on. This calendar is distributed to police stations around the KoW to keep it consistent.

haha True, but when reported here though, its often probably a miss translation from google translate, the reports usually report the death as ខ្យល់គ/ខ្យល់គរ - which means fainting (dying) or to have a stroke,

basically when the word "Wind/Air/Breath" ខ្យល់ is used in reference to deaths then its basically talking about "stopped breathing"

Khyol Kor - ខ្យល់គ = Breath + Mute/Silent/Muffled = Stopped breathing/Dead
Dach Kyhol - ដាច់ខ្យល់ = End/Last + Breath = Stopped breathing/Dead
Os Khyol - អស់ខ្យល់ = Finished/Exhausted/Used up + Breath = Breathless/Dead
Rok Khyol - រកខ្យល់ = Seek/Search + Breath = Gasping for air/Struggling to breathe
Khyol Chab - ខ្យល់ចាប់ = Breath + Painful = Painful breathing/feeling faint

Koas Khyol - កោសខ្យល់ = Scrape + Air = Scraping away the Air (bad 'air' in the body is thought to be the cause of sickness)
