D ë r ë p , a portion of paddy given to the reapers for their trouble in assisting to cut , which 

 is -*- of what they cut. 



Dërigama, having suspicion ; being awake to some occurrence. On the qui vive. The word 

 is evidently Sanscrit. The nearest solution to be found in Clough is Dhairyya , C. 303 

 steadiness, firmness, strength, courage, boldness. Agama , C. 61 an approaching, a 

 coming. An approaching with boldness (from being aware of deception). (4.0). 



Der ma, benevolence, charitable feeling, liberality, moral propriety. Dharma, C. 299 of 

 previous import. This is a great word amongst Buddhists and implies a variety of mo- 

 ral obligations , and the word very likely implied formerly , what it now implies in In- 

 dia , but since the con version of the natives to Mohammedanism , many of these obligations 

 have become obsolete and forgotten. 



Dës, the idiomatic expression of cracking or breaking, as when a thick piece of wood 

 breaks or snaps. Des bai injên pedati , the pedaty axle broke slap in two. 



(39) In Kawi exïsts the forms tQQ zs dëngë, and imSz^ rëngë; the tarung / 2N ) indicating that a letter 



is suppressed; this letter r, which occurs in Malay £j dëng'ar, and Javanese <Q2ï\ or «^^ dën- 



gër, déngër, in Kawi and Sundanese is suppressed because the first letter of the word is al- 

 ready an r or the cerebral d, which resembles in pronounciation (at least in former times) to r. 

 The Javanese has also feit this, and we find there rungu tiiltv and £a.a£>asnns mi-dangët, tohear; 



in the first the r is omitted, in the second supplanted by t; £oj, x mi-rëng, is an abbreviation of 



Kawi ojtSz^. With t>!cj\ corresponds in Kawi ^ips rëngua. To the Sundanese déngè is the next 



in form the Javanese ,nw)to\ déngër, but the last has got the meaning to understand, which is 



naturally derived from to hear, to listen. Fr. 



(40) More probable is a derivation from dirgha, long, far, and ma (from ma) measuring, where 

 with the meaning in Sundanese corresponds; Jav. drigama or dirgama (see Gericke ) , means to deny , 

 to declare oneself faultless: also tbis meaning might be perhaps elicited from dirghama, but is much 

 farther off, than the meaning attached to dërigama in Sundanese. Fr«
