Help with Translation Please
Hi Guys,
What is "Saisam wood" called in English?
Is there a specific place in the US to order it?
Thanks & Regards,
Hatem

What language are you refering to. Saisam=what language? I ask because in doing a search there is a reference to Myanmar which is of course Burma.

I did another search and spelled it sisam wood. Is this what you are looking for, sisam wood=teak wood?

On my search the spelling was "saisaban" = plant used as purgative.....
No translation in english.
May be when plant grows up and become a tree, its wood is less purgative and more usefull for oud making or repair. But probably Andy proposal is the
right one.
