Bukit, This word is properly Malay, and means a hill, not a mountain. It occurs in only two solitary instances in the Sunda districts, as applied to mountains, and these are the Bukit Tunggul and Bukit Jarian, two mountains in Bandong. Bukit Tunggul means „ Stump Hill"; it is on the boundary line between the Pamanukan Estate and SumSdang. The tradition of the ecountry says that here was felled the tree which was to form the Prahu which is supposed to still exist in the adjoining Tangkuban Prahu y which see. The Bukit Tunggul is a rather conical hill and bears a rude resemblance to the stump of a fallen tree. It is strange that these solitary instances of Bukit should occur in the interior of the Sunda districts, surrounded by otherwise purely Sunda names. Had it been on the coast, we might have imagined some ancient Malay colony settled near it. As it now is, it looks as if the Sunda people had hunted a name out of a foreign language to designate a mountain which it appeared to them anomalous to call a Gunung, with the word Tunggul jz: stump of a tree, affixed to it.
