 Kalana, name of a great rebel in the 18 century on Java, called Kalana Jaya, 



strolling about and triumphant. See ngalalana. 



Kalano-, a sort of outcasts on Java, perhaps now not found anywhere in the Sunda dis- 



tricts. Can these be the outcasts of Hindu times ? The word is probably the same as heard in 



the Sunda expression Kalang-kabut , scattered, dispersed. In Eoorda van Eysinga's 



dictronary of the Javanese language we firid „Kalang, name of a people on Java, 



who formerly wandered about, but who are now chiefly fixed at Kali Wungu, Demak 



and Këndal, and who have partly retaineel their peculiar customs." The word Balang, 



both in Javanese and Sunda, is to throw or fling, and Ka-balang , or by contraction 



perhaps Kalang, would mean flung out, and thus an outcast. In Sunda also the word 



Alang-alangan means to wander about at random, and from this we may have Ka-alang. 



The Kalang are olso known about the Straits of Malacca, and occupieel the present 



site of party of the town of Singapore, See Singapore Journal 1847 vol. I p. 300—304. 



Kalang, field of battle; a circle for ronggen gs to dance in. (Jav. kalang a circle; nga- 



lang , to surround.)

 Kalang kang, shadow, shade; the shadow of any object on which the sun shines. 

 Kalantaka, a small cannon on wheels , such as kept by native chiefs to fire salutes. 



(From Kala, death, and antaka, finishing Fr.) 

 Kalanti, want of food, famine, famished. Pa-ih kalanti, died for want of food. Loba 



nu kalanti, many were famished. 

 Kalap, a disease suddenly turning a person half mad, as if possessed of the devil, 



n might have been put to the word in a time, when the meaning of the word was no longer un- 

 derstood, and the Jca considered as the common Polynesian prefix, wliich seemed to deraand also the 

 suffix an. It is true, that Sanskrit words ending in a should form possessive adjectives by the 

 Suffix wat, but the Javanese tronbled themselves never about the exact rules of Sanscrit jrrammar. 

 Leno'thened forms as vanta and manta exist in the lancma°;3S darived from the Sanscrit. As to the 

 meaning, the Javanese certainly consideredt he inhabitants as possessing Kala (Jama, death) for the 

 reason of their unheard of barbarous manners, cutting heads from an ambnsh , eating human flesh 

 (which some continue to do till now) and being devoid of all attributes of mankind. Fr.
