Kan dé, a scrip, a wallet, a small bag slung over the shoulder and carriecl about by a 

 man wherever he goes, containing Sëurëuh and many other small objeets. Ngaitkën 

 kandé to hang up the bag- means to take up your quarters with any one ; make your- 

 self at home and allowed to hang up your bag. Or in som e sense to be admitted as 

 a courtier or lover , and thus to familiarly divest yourself of the bag. ( Jav. Kandi , a

Kan del, thick- not as liquids but as solid substances- liquids when tliich are called Rim- 

 pel. Kayu nu kandël , a piece of thick wood- Kandël biwir na , thick lipped- telling ar- 

 rant lies. Kuda éta kandël aioa/c na, that horse has a thick' body, is stoutly built. 

 (Këntël £vcfmrv>jj\ in Javanese and Batav. means thick, stiff, just when speaking of 

 liquids. Kandël ^^«^^ Jav. has the same meaning as in Sundanese. Fr.) 



Kandung, to carry any thing on the back wrapped up in a cloth , or more generally in 

 the folds of the Samping; to carry a child on the back so wrapped up. (Mal. idem.) 



Kanduruan, a petty title of distinction, lower than a Rangga, in use about Buitenzorg 

 and in the Prianger Regencies. The kanduruans have charge of the bridges and roads , 

 and look after the watchmen. This word may perhaps be derived from Duruwa, Clough 

 278, a child, an infant with the Polynesian pre- and suffixes Ka aud an„ meaning 

 thereby , young lads , the children of chiefs , employed to bring over the orders of 

 such chiefs , by way of starting them in some useful employment. This however leaves 

 the n bet ween ka and Duruwa to be inserted Euphoniae gratia. 



Kang, with, by, to; as Kang aing , with or by me, meaning I will take it. It is perhaps 

 in this sense only the preposition Ka with ng suffixed before a vowel. 



Kang, a familiar expression for Kaha, elder brother. A term of politeness addressed to a 

 stranger, who is older than the speaker. 



Kan gj eng, is a title applied to high personages, invested with power, and is used when 

 speaking as weilof native chiefs on Java and Bali, as of the high European authorities , 

 as the Governor General, or even the Residents. The etymon of the word may pro- 

 bably be found in the word Jëng which in a vocabulary of Kawi words in Raffles vol 

 2 appendix Page 169 is given as the Foot, in the same way as Paduka has the same 

 meaning , and is also applied to people of high rank ; as if the speaker was unworthy 

 to look higher or mention a more honourable part of the chief whom he adresses. It 

 may in general terms be translated- illustrious. The Kang prefixed to Jëng is proba- 

 bly the Javanese Kang , who , which , that which , and placed before an active verb con- 

 verts it into a substantive shape, as Kang nguchap, who speaks, the speaker. Kang 



to work for the prince and his innumerable attendants, who live all their days in idleness. Tanni 

 in Scr. is not the same word , it means not a plant in general , but a peculiar kind of plant that 

 can be of no particular use for the agriculturist. The comparison of this Scr. word with our tam, 

 (written only by the present Javanese tanni), by Prof. T. Roorda falls thus to the ground Fr.
