វណ្ណ
( n )
[voan, vannaʔ-, voannaʔ-]
color, complexion; ray / beam of light; class, status, caste, lineage (According to the Brahman religion, there are four social classes: (1) ព្រាហ្មណៈ priests and religious preachers; (2) ក្សត្រិយៈ or ខត្តិយៈ royalty; (3) វៃស្យៈ or វេស្សៈ high officials and merchants; (4) សូទ្រៈ or សុទ្ទៈ laborers. Traditionally each class wore a characteristic color of dress: white for the first class, red for the second, yellow for the third and black for the fourth. As a result of this tradition the word វណ្ណៈ or វណ៌ `color' has come to mean `social class' too. At the present time this practice only applies to royalty during formal royal ceremonies, and the colors are red, green, purple and blue which correspond to the four principal ranks within the royal administration. The colors red, green, purple and blue also apply to religious ranks, and are to be seen only on the monks' fans.)
