About Saveros Pou

  • Saveros Pou (in Khmer, ?? ?????, transliterated Bau Savaras), also known around 1970 under the name Saveros Lewitz, is a French linguist of Cambodian origin.
  • A retired research director of the CNRS in Paris, a specialist of the Khmer language and civilization, she carried out extensive work of Khmer epigraphy, started as a young researcher with her teacher George CÅ“dès. Her work in the field of etymology, specifically applied to old Khmer (from the 6th to the 14th) was seminal, but her varied skills enabled her to tackle areas such as the very rich processes of derivation in Khmer, religion, codes of conduct ( CPAP '), zoology and botany, cooking, etc.
  • This encyclopedic spirit is particularly evident in her Dictionnaire vieux khmer-français-anglais.
