Triangle and Sqaure notesIf you know how to count in Lao, you may noticed the Lao word for "triangle" has the number 3 in it. ສາມ /saam/means 3 in Lao. Thus, ສາມຫລ່ຽມ /saam liam/ means 3 sides.⠀Likewise, the same apply to a square as well, where ສີ່ /sii/ id 4. Hence, ສີ່ຫຼ່ຽມ /sii liam/ is 4 sides.
