ยก · yok
A round. The word is *lift*.
What it is
The unit a fight is divided into. Five of them.
The long version
Yok wian, the rotating round, is the format Chaiya used at Sala Kao Hong: every pair on the bill fought round one, then every pair fought round two, and any pair that could not finish five dropped out.
Inference — the word being lift rather than round is a small tell that the unit predates the ring. Something was being raised to mark it.
Root
Thai ยก — to lift, to raise
