thus accomplished , fulfilled. Or it may be from Gatra, C. 172 the body, a limb or 

 member. It also in Sunda appears sometimes to mean , family , relationship , and will 

 thus imply either the triumphant peace or triumphant and accomplished or the 

 triumphant family. (It is yet sometimes pronounced Jakarta or Jakérta, town of vic- 

 tory. For the derivation of Ja from Jaya plead several Javanese names , Jasingha , 

 Jiijuddka, etc. Fr.) 



Jak sa, the native fiscal at the courts of law for the natives. 



Ja, C. 208, speedy, swift. Aksha, C. 5. the eye. A swift eye to detect the merits 

 of the cases brought before him. 



Jaksa, at Page 43 of 23 vol Bat: Trans: Mr. Friederich says in a note. „I write 

 Diaksa in place of Jaksa (as the judges are usually called in Bali and Java) on the 

 authority of a manuscript where the writing with the second D points to the origin of 

 the word. Diaksa, which is also found in M. S. S. as Adiahsa is Sanscrit: Adhi, 

 chief , Aksha , eye. 11 



Jakun, only heard in the expression Ilaram Jakun, accursed Jakun , wich is an expres- 

 sion of contempt for any man. Some wild heathen tribes in the Malay peninsula are 

 called Jakun, and probably it may have had once the same import in Java, though 

 now adays the only non- Mohammedan Sundaese are the Badui of South Bantam (52). 



Jala, a hand- net ;, a casting net to take fish. Jala, C. 210, a net. See Heurap. (Skr. Jala.) 



Jalabriah, a variety of Kuéh or native pastry- This childish stuff admits of a grandiose 

 Sanscrit interpretation. Jala, C. 207, water, a kind of perfume. Abhrbja, C. 41, 

 belonging to the clouds, or produced from the clouds- and thus the water or perfume 

 of the clouds. 



Jalak, name of a bird, much seen about buffaloes, called also Kérak, Tapak jalak, lite- 

 rally the mark of a jalak's foot: it means- a rude cross cut on a tree, especially in 

 forests, in order to be able to recognize the tree or place again, or for a guide in 

 travelling. 



Jalan, a road, a way, a path. This word is evidently compounded of the first part of 

 the following word Jal, with the constructive an placed after it. It is very probablv 

 of the same root as Yanawa, C. 569 to go, to walk, of wich ya is the root (53). 



Jalanan, to walk through. To walk about on or in. 



Jal-jol, an idiomatic expression of frequently coming; coming again and acain. 



Jaling'er, active, nimble. 



(52) And on Java proper the inliabitants of the Tenggër mountains. Jakun or Yakun is in otker 

 countries a corruption of Yaksha, a kind of demons , similar in Brahmanical Mythology to the more 

 knoAvn Bdkshasas, The word Yaksha is known in the Archipel, and the corruption Jalun might 

 have come over in later times, perhaps with the propagators of Mohamraedanism. Fr„
