 Kagét, startled, put in trepidation. The more usual word is Roioas. It is also used in 



the construction of sentences as a word of apposition or contrast, what then , how if, 



suppose that, but if, but then. Kagét to di bóré, but suppose he does not give to me.

occurring at a wrong time. Put out of your routine. Something being in the way which 



prevents your acting. Jadi kagol ku batur , I become disappointed on account of my

Ka and an. Kagung^an Raden Adipati, His Highness the Kaden Adipati. Kuda 



kagung'an, your honour's horse. 



Scr. gliota. But even tliis derivation is no more than a conjecture. The name self dragon' s tail is 

 not an auspicions one, why should it have been given to such a fine, celebrated country? Kaduwa 

 might be Khadga, on Java ho wever Such an alteration seems not to be admissible. We might find 

 perhaps the Etymon of the word in any of the Polynesian languages. The writing ^ (Këdu) in 



Marsdens Malay dictionary leaves it uncertain if the e be long or short. In the first case we ex- 

 pect a ~ after the ( * ( ; the latter case is very ïmprobable , when the word is to be derived from 



Kêtu. After all I know from inscriptions a name Iwarahu, which must have been a place of no- 

 tice in the northeastern part of Java- and it means like Rahu who is the upper part of the dra- 

 gon, and always desirous to devour the sun or the moon. Fr. 



(59) In Kawi it is kagiat; Jav. and Batavian Icagêt; on a golden ring from Java kajêt; Malay 

 hëjtit and another Javanese form is kèjót. Fr.
