ปากกา Parker (any sort of pen)
I never associated ปากกา with Parker; I always thought this word came from ปาก and กา (as in a teapot's spout). ปากกา can also be spelled ปากไก่ and a quill pen is called ปากกาขนนก. Maybe you are right, but I imagine that there were pens in Thailand hundreds of years before the Parker company was formed and that Thais had already a name for the device. If it was indeed a case of a brand name adopted, I guess they would call it ปาร์เกอร์ rather than ปากกา.
