I doubt your explanation of Kal is a vietnamese word. Kal came from Sansaskrit (equivilent of Latin) Look it up. Kal means to wish or consideration. So Dangkal is a wish and consideration pole. It is accurate. It is stupid to say Khmer go to make wishes at a flag pole. To say Khmer people go make wishes at Wishing Pole, it is accurate.

The story of Preah Ang Dong Kal got nothing with the Viet word.
Khmer people saw a Dong flip flop on the river for a long time and they wished that Dong to disappear but the Dong never disappear so Khmer people offered Baisei and asked that Dong to disappear and the Dong was disappeared so Khmer people believed that Dong was a miracle and named Preag Ang Dong Kal.

King Sisowath or King Norodom was on a ship from Philippine to Cambodia and there was a big storm, so the King asked Preah Ang Dong Kal for safety so the King arrived back in Cambodia safe and sound, since then Khmer people always believed Preah Ang Dong Kal.

Your explanation of where the place got its name from is credible, but it is unknown how reliable your source is. Well...it's just a video after all, not a paper published in a journal. And I hope you explain to your students the word 'bom-non' at the end of the video comes from the root word 'bon' which means to pray and that 'lia' in this context means to let go. Thankful to the answered prayer is kinda correct, but ...anyway i'm running out of space here.

sorry, no can do. Extreme Khmer is intended for people who speak Khmer beyond beginning level. my way of thinking is, there are plenty of sources out there about Cambodia in English, this one happens to be in Khmer!

What Vietnamese got to do with Khmer Preah Ang DANGKAL?
I've never heard that before.
What I heard, Preah Ang Dankal was named after Preah BOROM baramei has never been destroyed by many wars. DANGKAL means DANG STAY STILL ALWAYS that makes miracle.

It's explained in the video. ដង means pole in Khmer, កើ (cờ) means "flag" in Vietnamese, the term refers to a flagpole, I think it's pretty obvious. There's no point in trying to explain away the origin of the word just because there's Vietnamese in it (like they try to in the magazine article in the "extras" for the episode on studykhmerDOTcom)...
