Adi Kusuraa, a frequent name among the Javanese nobility ; from Adi- vide voce - and 

 Kimima Clough 134 a flower in general-but on Java it is used as an epithet for any 

 thing excellent- Adi Kusuma is therefore „the flower ot perfection." (Or „the first 

 „flower." Fr.). 



Adil, ar: just, equitable, fair. 



Adi n ing Rat or adhi ning Rat,(5)a name subjoined to the two native Capitals on 

 Java , and means „ Chief of the Land." Adi , vide voce , Ning is a Javanese and Sunda 

 word expressive of of. Rat is a contraction of Rata, C. 581. Country, district, an 

 inhabited Country; thus we have Surakarta adi ning Rat, and Jugyakarta adi ning 

 Rat. Adhi ning Rat is a title often given to Javanese chiefs of high rank. 



Adi pati, (6) one of the highest ranks of office , derived from Adi vide voce and Pati C. 

 383 Lord or master , thus Chief Lord- the native governor of a subdivision of the 

 Country, under the European Resident- the highest rank to which the native Regents 

 are usually raised. 



Adon, to visit a neighbour or friend- mostly with aview to get something outof him- this 

 frequently happens at erop or fruit time , in order to get a share- to go and receive food 

 or daily necessaries from a friend. Adon jagong , to go to get maize ; adon nyatu , 

 to go to get fed. 



Adu, to fight, to squabble, see Agadu- This word is also no doubt of Sanscrit origin. 

 The nearest to be found in Clough are at Page 636 Wada, discourse, discussion, con- 

 troversy , disputation. 

 Wadi, adisputant, a controversialist - Wadu , hatred, anger, malice , wrath. 



Adu biru, an expression of contempt used towards any one- montong di bawuran adu 

 biru sia , you need not put in any of your jaw to meddle with conversation or matters 

 that do not regard you. For Adu vide voce. JBiruma C 473 barking- the verbal noun 

 of Buranawa to bark as a dog- adu biru is thus literally, controversy and barking (7). 



(5) The last only by mistake. Rat can be a corruption of rdshtra kingdom, but it is rather the 

 nominative case of rdj , king, the meaning being altered. Fr. 



(6) Here it must be Adhipati, in contraposition to pati, master, herus, which is on Java a title 

 of lower rank, born by the second, quasi the adjutant of the Regent of a division; Adhipati being 

 not the first pati, but the upper, superior master; on Java also a title. Fr. 



(7) If the derivation of Adu be right, which I rather doubt [Wadu being not found in Wilson), 

 biru might be Skr. bhiru, timid, fearful, and adu biru would be to fight as a coward; notwithstan- 

 ding I mistrust the derivation of both words, and suppose them rather to be Polynesian. The 

 same observation is applicable to all the derivations from such Avords out of Clough , as are no Sans^ 

 crit. Fr.
