Also terms Loh, Dunk, Kehn are often confused even among Thai people.
Scholars often refer
Loh : any type of shields
Dunk : rectangular shields

Modern Krabi Krabong School often refer
Loh : round shields
Dunk : rectangular shields
Kehn : rectangular shields

K.Puff, I do not know very much about use of shields, but do you know if there was one shape of the shield better for certain situations/ certain shape shield used for different unit of the military due to their function/ role?
