B a d a k , the Rhinoceros. Rhinoceros Sumatrensis. Badak may be derived from Bada , C 455 , 

 the belly , the abdomen, and Ek C, 85. One- This Uk in Singhalese coalesces with the Avord 

 to which it relates at the end , and when such word terminates in a vowel like Bada , the 

 é of ék is dropped , an only the k suffixed , thus Bada ^ Badak , which though not a 

 current Singhalese word for a Rhinoceros, means „One Belhf , and would apply very 

 well to an animal of which the belly forms so conspicuous a part. The Sunda people 

 have also Ladog and Gandol for Rhinoceros. Nyampal badak, the evening star, lite- 

 rally the feeding time of the Rhinoceros. Cheidi badak the cactus or opuntia plant , lite- 

 rally Rhinoceros ears (18).
