 Diyëng, the highest part of the Gunung Prawu, inland of Pakalongan, and where the 



chief monuments of Hindu antiquity in that range, are still found. The word is evi-

(42) Aditya , child of Aditi is the common name of the sun. In Dité the first syllable is cut and in

(43) Diyeuh might be related to the Malay duduk; the Sundanese is the simple form with a pro- 

 longation of the vowel; dudok, seems to be a reduplication , and has not altered the vowel, just for 

 reason of the reduplicating syllable. (Diyeuk, shorter pronounced yet, than it appears from thewri- 

 ting, is rather monosyllabic. So (monosyllabic) are all the »idiomatic expression" of this dictionary, 

 and they will turn out to be the real roots of the greatest part of the languages of the Archipelago. But 

 this is no sïgn that these languages represent a broken Sanscrit. Fr.
