Tola
តុលា
The Khmer name for October, from a Sanskrit word for the scales and the zodiac sign Libra.
Meaning and origin
Tola is one of a set of Cambodian solar-calendar month names taken from the Sanskrit names of the zodiac signs the sun crosses through, so it points to the sign of the scales rather than the Gregorian month on its own.
