What it is
The one name in the thirty that says what the movement is.
The long version
And even here the sport refuses the ordinary word. Everyday Thai for foot is thao (เท้า) and for face is na (หน้า). This name uses batha, from Sanskrit pāda, and phak, from vaktra — the register of court poetry and the Ramakien.
Inference — the naming is not decoration. Wherever the vocabulary comes from, so did the people who wrote it down: the technique lists were court documents before they were gym documents.
