A DICTIONARY SUNDANESE


Hadangan, a noise among the guts; a disease in the bowels. A grumbling in the belly. Crawford gives as common to the Malay and Javanese, Adang, intercepted, stopped in the way, way-laid, which seems to be the etymon of our word.

Hadar-al-maut, arabic, the Region of death. That part of Arabia facing the Indian Ocean, and from which come most of the Arabs who are found in Java. (The Arabs themselves give the explanation حَضْرَةُآلْمَوْتِ Hadrat-ul-Maut, presence of the death, because they consider themselves and have shown sometimes in India, that they are brave fellows. حَدْرُآلْمَوْتِ; Hadr-ul-maut, means the place of death. But so as stated derive the Arabs the word otherwise, and translate it in this sense into Malay.)

Hadé, good, right. Hadé ning paré, it conduces to the success of Paddy. Mohal hadé to di bèrè, it will never be right not to give some.

Haharéwosan, to whisper, to speak in a suppressed voice.

Haja, to do intentionally. Lain di haja, not done on purpose. In Malay it is

Sangaja, Marsden P. 170, on purpose, wilfully.
Sahaja, Marsden P. 194, purpose, design.

The word may probably be some form of the Singhalese word Hadanawa C. 785, to make, to form, to build; the final nawa is only constructive.

Hajat, a feast, to make a festival, as at a marriage or circumcision. The word is probably Arabic, and means necessity, necessary use or occasion: a feast being considered indispensable at a circumcision or marriage. (From the Ar. root حَاجَ hâja, to be obliged. Fr.)

Hajĕli, a variety of Panicum, a gramineous plant bearing a hard seed, which can be steamed and eaten. Called in Malay Jali.

Hajéré, somewhat resembles the foregoing, and is thus a Panicum. It has very hard blueish seeds which are sometimes strung as ornaments for bed curtains.

Haji, arabic. A person who has made the pilgrimage to Mecca, and is always distinguished by wearing a white turban. Bulan Haji the 12th. Mohammedan month, and the one in which the pilgrimage at Mecca must be accomplished. (حَاجُّ, hâjj; he wears a turban in contradistinction to the common Javanese, who wear only a handkerchief on the head. Fr.)

Hak, arabic, right, equity, justice, law, rule. Lĕungit hak, lost his right. Hak mutĕlak, arabic, the pure truth, the absolute right. (حَقُّ الْمُطْلَقُ ;حَقّ)

Hakan, to eat. Quere from Hakka, the jaw, C. 784. Kanawa, C. 103 to eat; the latter part of the word is only constructive. In Malay it is makan, the ma being evidently a usual verbal prefix.

Hakan-hakanan, eatables, provisions; whatever is served up at table.
