A Dictionary of the Sunda language/T

by Jonathan Rigg

T.

Ta, is an inseparable particle of extensive use, often giving a verbal form to monosyllabic idiomatic expressions, but of which the separate meaning has not always been retained. Tabur is an example compounded of Ta and Bur, pouring out.

Ta-ala, Arabic, most high, exalted, Allah Ta-ala, God the Most High.

Ta-ali, Arabic, exalted, most high.

Tabir, Arabic, interpretation, meaning, purport, upshot. Kumaha tabir na, what is the purport of it. Tabir na to ngĕunah, the upshot of that is not agreeable. NB. MARSDEN, at page 62, gives Tabir as meaning a curtain, a veil, as Faal zakat menjadi tabir dalam surga, works of public charity become a veil (over sins) in heaven. The word Tabir would admit of this meaning in Sunda, though the natives have no idea that it means a veil. They use it then only metaphorically.

Kĕbo mapal di tagal, buffaloes graze on open plains.

Tagal rinyung, Tagal haréno, Tagal haréndong, Tagal awi, the last of these is, a plain of bambus, and the other expressions indicate a plain of their respective woods.

It has obtained its name from its resemblance to a boat turned bottom up, as seen from positions in the Preanger Regencies. There is an old legend which says that it is the remainder of a boat which was being constructed to sail about an immense lake which occupied the present plain of Bandong, formed by damming up the Chitarum at the Sengyang Tikoro. The tree to make this boat was felled on Bukit Tunggul, or stump hill, and the branches are represented by Gunung Burangrang, lying at either extremity of the Tangkuban Prahu. The dam in the Chitarum and the boat to sail on the lake were to be all completed in one night and ready before day-break. This feat was about to be accomplished, and great results obtained, when the disconcerted adversary fell upon the following device. On the water of the lake which was rising behind the dam of the Sengyang Tikoro, he strewed the shining white leaves of the Wurungan and at same time causing the women to beat the riceblocks, induced the belief that day had dawned, when the dam was abandoned in dispair, just before it was completed, and the Chitarum soon afterwards burst itself a way again into the Lowlands. The saga of the land points out the rude features of the country in confirmation of this story. The work was abandoned in dispair, but the rude remnants still remain to attest to the mountaineer the truth of the origin of the tale. Tangkubkĕn, to turn topsy-turvy. To invert.

Tasik, this word only occurs, as far as I can learn, in one solitary instance in the Sunda language, and that is to form a proper name; viz in the Preanger Regencies, on the banks of the Chitandui, and south of the mountain Talaga Bodas, occurs Tasik Malaya, and thus inland and at a considerable distance from the sea. Tasi and Tasik, in many languages of the Archipelago, and throughout the Pacific, mean the Sea, and even in Javanese the word Tasik is found meaning a lake, the sea. The Ta may be the very common Polynesian negative, No, not, called in Sunda To. Sik or Sika may be the Singhalese Sikha, C. 731, point, top in general; a crest. Thus some thing without top, point or crest; the boundless ocean. Or it may be the same Ta negative, and Si of Sima, C. 741, boundary, limit, bank, shore. The Ma being constructive. See Sisi. Thus again something „without limit or bank.“ The Sunda people have, however, adhered to the word Laut for sea, which see, and which is also of Sanscrit origin, though the name of so common an object. Tasik would appear also to be Malay. MARSDEN, page 64, gives: „Tasek, a sea, inland sea or great lake; a large piece of water.“ CRAWFURD, at page 184, gives: „Tasik, the sea, the ocean; a great lake or inland sea“.

Tatalén is a word derived from Tali, a rope, by duplicating the first syllable and adding an, which following the vowel i becomes én. The word occurring in this shape in Sunda confirms CRAWFURD'S note to Tali, who after stating that in Malay it means ⅛ of a Spanish dollar, says: — „It is probable that Tali is derived from Tali, a rope, and has reference to the practice of filing a certain number of small coins on a string, which, judging by the hole in the centre of all ancient Javanese coins, appears to have prevailed in the Archipelago as well as in China.“

Trusnawati, generally called Dayang Trusnawati, the Damsel Trusnawati. A female personage in the old mythology of Java, of whom an account is given in the Manek Maya in Appendix H of Raffles' Java, where she is called Trésna Wati. An account is there given of a wonderful Chupu or basket which contained the gem Retna Dumila, and which were changed, the former into a Bali Simarakata, the latter into a virgin, to whom Sang Yang Guru gave the name of Trésna Wati, and who continued to remain in the Bali Simarakata till she grew up. Sang Yang Guru afterwards taking a fancy to the virgin, wished to make her his wife. She consented on condition of his giving her such proof as she required of his divinity and power, and that was by his supplying her with three things, viz, 1^st a suit of elegant apparel, which would last her for ever, without being in the least tarnished,—2^dly a meal which would cause her never to feel hunger more,—3^dly a musical instrument called Gatoplak, of the most melodious sound. Trisnäwa, C. 251, desire, wish, anxious longing, lust. Wati, C. 618, a woman of property; a female possessing great wealth. Thus literally—Dayang Trusnawati the damsel who was desirable from her wealth. The second gift of Sang Yang Guru to the damsel has been assumed to be rice, and in Jampé used at paddy planting, the name of the Dayang Trusnawati frequently occurs.

Tuan Bězar, Malay: the Great Gentleman. The name by which the Governor General of Java is known.

Tuang, to pour out a molten metal. To make castings of metal.

Tuang-kuring, your very humble servant, your obedient slave. A very submissive designation of self by a man speaking to his superior. Kuring is already a very humble designation of self, and Tuang is perhaps the same as Tuang or Tuwang, to pour out molten metal, to make castings, and if this is correct, Tuang kuring will imply: your obedient slave, whom you can pour out into any shape you please.

This is called Tuba běněr, real tuba, to distinguish it from Tuba songgom, which latter word see. Tuba sa kěurěung, a packet of the tuba roots, as they are put up in when carried about.

Tugu, a boundary mark of stone (not a wooden post). Tugus are found all throughout the country, and are by no means always boundary marks, at least at the present day. These Tugus are supposed to mark the spots where the ritis of former superstition were observed, in times previous to the introduction of mahomedanism, and as ancient marks are still always respected when they have obtained the sanctity of such a name, though this Tugu mostly consists of nothing more than one or more rough, unhewn trachyte blocks. Tugula C. 236, lotus. May the old Hindus have introduced the custom of placing the sacred lotus at such places, or as consecrating the place, when, from that circumstance, any boundary mark was called Tugu.

Tujah, to throw any pointed instrument; to hurl as a lance. Said of the act of a buffaloe which annoys other buffaloes by goring them about the body, but not coming to a stand-up fight, head to head.

Tuju, to aim, to send at, to direct to, to give course to. Tujukěn surat, to send a letter to any one; to give course to a letter, so that it reaches any person. To aim at, to direct one's course towards. Sasari na liang téngah nu di tuju, usually it is the middle hole which we aim at.

Tujuh, seven, the number seven. This word may be derived from To, not, and Uju, heard in Tuju, and in the Malay Měnuju, to direct towards. To-uju = not tallying, not being in the direction,—as when the native had counted his fingers up to five, which he called Lima, a hand, and then made an addition from the other hand to make six, Gěnap, completeness, and had folded down two of the fingers of that same other hand to represent 8 and 9 (see Dalapan and Salapan) two fingers remained sticking out which have to represent seven. But they are two and not one and thus do not tally, měunju from Tuju, to point against, or To-uju, do not coincide. The uju, in the sense of coincidence is heard in the word Mujur, lucky, fortunate, lying lengthwise with, and not athwart. The natives have thus counted upwards to six, but in mean time they had also counted backwards to eight by folding down two of the fingers of one hand, or two fingers from the whole ten, which had been named Sapuluh, one collection. This left two fingers to represent One number, the intermediate seven. Now supposing the index finger of the second hand to count for Seven, we have still the middle finger left in jeopardy without a use. May this have given rise to the expression in Malay of Jari-antu, the middle finger, literally the ghost-finger, the goblin-finger; or Jari mati, the dead finger, see Crawfurds Malay dictionary Page 58. The name for Seven in Javanese and many other Polynesian tongues is Pitu, which may be an abbreviation of the Javanese Pituduh, a pointer, an index, that which shows the way. And Tujuh may then be derived from the same word by dropping the initial Pi and converting the D into J, as Jěrami in Sunda, paddy straw, becomes Dami in Malay, and Dhami in Javanese. Japit or Jěpit in Malay, to squeeze, to jam together, becomes Dapit in Sunda. In the language of Bima, by way of exception to the otherwise almost universal Pitu, this word assumes the shape of Pidu, which has no doubt been formed by dropping the middle syllable of Pituduh, instead of the final syllable.

Tujuh-blas, seventeen.

Tujuh-puluh, seventy.

Tujuh, a disease, sickness. Tujuh kuliling, a disease in which either man or beast, most frequently the latter, keeps twisting and turning in a circle.

Tulang, a bone. Tulang tonggong, the back bone. Tulang ngora, young bone, gristle, cartilage. This word tulang does not occur, even modified, in any of the languages of the Pacific, where Hui or Joi, or some modification there-of, seem most usual. It may come from Tula, C. 239, inside, within, inner, and the Polynesian ng suffixed, indicating something within, the inner parts , something within the body. In Singhalese the word becomes constructively Tulén, within.

Tulén, pure, unmixed. Mas tulén, pure gold. Turunan tulén, of unmixed descent, pure breed.

Tulis, to write; to make characters or figures on paper or other material. To engrave. Tulis surat, to write a letter. Batu tulis , an inscribed stone, a stone with an inscription on it. As the people of India, the Hindus, appear to have spread so much civilization and knowledge among the Islanders, we may fairly look to them also for the introduction of writing. In Clough, page 241, is Tulika,a pencil, a painter's brush; a kind of stick with a fibrous point used by painters. Tuli, C 240, a fibrous stick or brush, used by weavers for cleaning the threads of the woof; a painters brush , a fibrous stick used for that purpose. Again at page 6 of Clough we find Akshara-tulika, from Aksara, a letter, and Tulika, a brush = a pen. The final S is the only difficulty in the case, and Tulis no doubt means a method of writing, by painting on the letters, derived from India, which would supersede the Gurat and Surat, cr characters scratched on bambu. See Surat. There is a word in Singhalese which Clough appears to have omitted, but it is given at page 50 of Lambricks Singhalese Vocabulary, viz Lissanawa, to slip, to slide. Perhaps the crude part of this word, which would be Lis, has been joined to Tuli= Tuli-lis, elided into Tulis, as indicating the gliding motion of the brush. The lis in the sense of slipping or missing is heard in the word Pasalisihan, Salisih, which see.

Tulisan, a writing, a delineation. Predestination, appointed hour. Dalang ka tulisan nana, his hour has come. His registered fate has arrived.

Tulugtug, a stake, to stick into the ground. A thick stick sharpened and set into the ground.

Tuluskĕn, to bring to pass, to cause, to take place. To execute.

Tuma, a flea or vermin that infests dirty clothing, and changes colour with the cloth.

Tumagung or Tumunggung, derived from Tua old , and Agung , chief, — comprising thus a combination of qualities held in high respect by the natives , viz age and high birth. The um put between the two words implies: similarity to, possessing the qualities of, — and in some cases continuity or repetition. Thus also in the Sunda language the word Jumarum, means like a needle, from Jarum , a needle; and Tumumbak, like a spear or Tumbak, two designations applied to sprouting paddy. On Timor the village chiefs are called Tumagung. Tijdsehrift voor Ned. Indie, 1 jaargang, deel 1 , page 393. In Java Tumagung is a title for a native chief next below Adipati.

Tuman, accustomed, in the habit of doing anything. Ti tutur datang ka tuman, from habit becoming accustomed.

Tumanihna, when at liberty, when you have time, at your convenience. The word is also sometimes heard as Tumaninah. Eŭkĕur tumaninah, I have now leisure.

Tumbak, a spear, a weapon of defence, a lance. A land measure of 12 Rhineland feet of each 12,357 English inches; see Kaki. A rood. Most probably derived from tĕuwĕuk, to stab, the peculiar um being introduced, and the w converted into b, and thus an object with which to stab. It is supposed that originally the word Tumbak was taken for a land-measure from the length of a chiefs spear, which is borne as a mark of dignity before him ,and was thus always handy for reference. Tumbal, to ward off, to avert by prayer or invocation (Jampé). Thus a Tumbal is made at a forest or jungle that is to be cut down for a plantation. It is also done at any place where we want to work in order to avoid evil, and not be overtaken by disease. Anything hung up by way of a Jampé, as various roots, leaves, etc. Tumbal is thus a superstitious observance of the natives on certain occasions. Tambol, sorcery, in Malay, see Crawfurd's Dissertation, page 197.

Tumbu, to shoot up, to come up as seed from the ground. To shoot, to vegetate. The etymon of the word is Wu or Bhu, C. 688, to be, with ti and um prefixed and thus indicating: in the act of becoming. In the Bisaya language of the Philippine Islands, the word is called Tubu, to grow, Crawfurd's Dissertation, page 116, and even at the Tonga Islands of the Pacific Tubu is the word used for: to spring up as plants. The Sunda word has thus the peculiar M inserted to imply continuity. See Tumagung. In the Maori of New Zealand Tupu, is to shoot or sprout. Tubuni or Tumbani, C. 238, plantation, the act of planting trees, labours in a nursery.

Tumbuk, to pound, to stamp. To strike with the clenched fist. To drive as a pile of wood. To thump down. Compounded from the particle Ta and Buk, with the peculiar um placed between them.

Tumbung, pudendum muliebre. In Malay Tumbung means: the seed of plants, evidently from Tumbu, to shoot up. Thus the Sunda word will literaly convey the idea of the place whence the human race springs. In Malay also Crawfurd gives Tumbung, prolapsus uteri vel ani. The final ng thus modifies the sense a little. Tumbong in Malay also, Marsden, page 81, is a hole in the surface of anything hollow; a vent or spile-hole; the anus. Tumbong kalapa, the hole in a cocoa-nut from whence it sprouts.

Tumbung kanyut, name of a plant, Canthium Horridum. Kanyut means bag or purse.

Tumbung uching, pudendum felicis domesticae, implies breeding like a cat, as we would say breeding like a rabbit.

Tumorék, said of young jungle about a couple of years old, where a humah has been, and through which a man can with difficulty make his way from the density of the jungle. Derived from Torék, deaf, and the peculiar um inserted, as if the jungle would give no ear to our endeavours to pass.

Tumpangan, fare, passage money. Freight of goods loaded in a vessel. See Numpang. Tumpĕk, a day in an ancient week corresponding to Saturday. See Dité. All the other days are called by names analogous to those found under Dité. This day is called in Ceylon Sénasurada, which is from Sénasura, C. 761, the planet Saturn. On Java the denomination for Saturday appears to have differed from that in Ceylon, and no very satisfactory etymology presents itself for Tumpĕk, unless it may be derived from Tam, C. 239, greatness, dignity, eminence, and Paka, C. 381, the name of a demon who was conquered by Indra, but why his eminence the Demon succeeded Saturn does not appear.

Tumpĕng, the boiled rice in the shape of a cone as it comes from the native cooking pot, over which it has been cooked by steaming in a bambu basket called Hasĕupan.

Tunggak, the stump of a tree, cut a few inches or a foot above the ground. Any wood set fast and projecting, as drift wood in a river.

Tunggal, alone, separate, distinct. Independent of any other. Séngyang Tunggal, the independent, the only divinity, - which conveys the nearest approach to the unity of the godhead, as understood by the ancient and pagan Javanese, only we know that they had the whole Hindu tribe of gods in reverence at the same moment, and thus that Séngyang Tunggal, though independent of the other gods, and in many respects the chief divinity, did not prevent the other deities being active, each in his own peculiar sphere. See Nunggal. Tunggal is still one of the chief divinities of the Badui in South Bantam.

From this tree being called Ki-tua, and having certain supernatural attributes ascribed to it, and not tuwa, but kolot being the Sunda for old, it may be fairly doubted whether it exactly means old, and the idea suggests itself that it means: supernatural power or being, in some way, in which sense the word Atua has been preserved in the Pacific islands for Deity, and indeed both in Sunda, Malay and other Polynesian dialects generally. Tuhan Allah is still used to express the True God.

See Atua, Wong-atua.
