សូម v. សុំ
In general you use
សុំ (a verb)
for asking, begging.
In this case, សុំ as a verb is
followed by a noun/object.
You use
សូម as part of a verb phrase,
still expressing a need, preceding the main action
(that is to say,
followed by the action verb),
often used to make the phrase more polite.
I encounter the incorrect or inconsistent use of these words
សូម and សុំ
all the time, including all the popular main Khmer print media as well as in the books of the Bible, mainly the Gospel of John.
