Noun [Pacoh]

IPA: [pirɛːŋ]
Etymology: Inherited from Proto-Katuic *prɛɛŋ, from Proto-Austroasiatic *briəŋ (“rainbow”). The two senses are related, since, as observed by Richard Watson, Saundra Watson & Cubuot Canxóiq (1979), "… ‘rainbows’ are believed to be manifestations of all of the souls from a particular graveyard reaching out to a place of water, because they are always thirsty."
