Tutul, spotted, marked with spots or blotches. Maung tutul, the spotted tiger, a panther. Awi tutul, the spotted bambu, Bambusa Maculata.

Tutung, burnt, scorched, singed. Carbonized as wood put temporarily into the fire.

Tutup, to shut up, to shut, to close; to make a final payment; to terminate; to hush up. A wrapper, envelope of something. The covering piece of any lot. Jélĕma na di tutup, the man has been shut up, imprisoned. Tutup pĕrkara, to hush up any circumstance. Tutup tambako, the covering fold of a basket of tobacco (which is always the best). Hutang na gĕus tutup, his debt has been discharged.

Tutur, habituated, in the habit of. Becoming au-fait from habit. Obedient to the will of another. The etymon of this word is evidently the same as in the word Turut. Gĕus tutur, gĕus tuman, he has become habituated, and used to it.

Tuturkĕn, to follow, to track, to chace. Di tuturkĕn ka imah, I followed him to his house.

Tuturub, any temporary shelter. Any object used on the press of the moment, as a cover or lid.

Tutus, a slip of bambu split fine, or in thin shreds and used as string, especially for tying halĕups on a roof. This word is in all probability the etymon of Ratus and Satus, one hundred, which see. It is a duplication of the word Tus, to nick a bit of bambu-string in counting.

Tuhan Allah is still used to express the True God. Now that Tuhan, which both written and pronounced with an aspirate, as is generally supposed, to distinguish it from Tuan = Mr., may have had its origin, in reality in this Tuwa or Atua, divinity. See Atua, Wong-atua.

Tuwa-bangka, an old obstinate and malicious fellow. Perhaps the short for Tuwa-bangkawara, old and malicious.

Tuwak, or Ki-tuwak, name of a forest-tree. Tuwak in Malay is toddy, the juice of a palm-tree, which is called Lahang in Sunda.

Tuwalut, Arabic, calamity, misfortune.
