Béla, aid, assistance; a seconder or supporter , a protector- Batur kudu di bela-an, we must 

 bring help to our neighbours- Aing mengke jadi béla sla, I will become your protec- 

 tor. On Bali, according to Friederich Bat. Trans. Vol 23 Page 10. Be'la is the bur- 

 ning of a wife in afiery hole, separate from her husband. Into this she jumps without 

 krissing herself. Béla has been described by Crawfurd as implying Rstaliation , but 

 as far as I (Friederich) can learn, the Bali meaning of the word implies rather the 

 Sanscrit welE, sudden and easy death (Wilson). This becomes plain from the 

 manner in which it takes place, also from the circumstance that the attendants of a 

 chief who has been killed in battle , and who make an amuk and die with him, are 

 also called Béla. In general in Bali the word implies „the act of dying with a superior", 

 as the wife with her husband , the slave with his master , the attendant with his lord. 

 This word is probably derived from Billa, C. 473, a sacrifice of animals to demons, 

 or an offering made in honour of deceased ancestors. In Malay it means to accompany 

 in death ; the voluntary sacrifice of a woman at the funeral of her husband — or it may 

 come from Béla, C. 478, power, strength, force , might. 



Béla, ar: misfortune, evil, hurt. *h experimentum , tentamen, difficultas, aerumna, afflic- 



tio, Freytag.) 



Béla-an, to support, to give assistance to, to maintain , to succour. Bela-an paih, to 

 support, to succour even unto death; this expression is still frequently heard in the

 when the wife sacrificed herself on the funeral pile of her husband. 



Bëlabur, spread out, scattered. 



Bëlai, injury, calamity. Jauh belai, out of harm's reach. 



Belang, pie-bald, party-coloured , black and white. Kuda belang, a pie-balcl horse.
