pears to be an abbreviation. Only now, just now, freshly, as yet. Karak datang, just 



come. Karak siji, as yet there is only one.

of it, now that I see it, &; it indicates surprise on the part of the speaker. Karaman 



luhur now that I see it, how high it is! Karaman ganchang , how quick it goes.

graves of holy men are called Kramat, and here offerings and prayers are put up 



when the native is in difficulty. (LoLS", Karamat, dignity, honour; plur. cuUt.i', ka- 

 ramat, wonders edited by holy man, by their natural power. Fr.) 



K a r a n g , a Avart on the body. 



Kar an g, Coral rock, limestone rock in general found inland far from the sea. The coral rocks 

 have no doubt obtained this name from exhibiting the appearance of a garden groAving 

 under the Avaves , consisting of branching corals , madrepores &c. 



Ka rang, a garden, ground laid out, or set in order like a garden. The natives call the 

 Bantam hill Gunung karang , Avhich thus properly means, Garden mountain, from ïts 

 having, no doubt from an early period, been laid out in gardens, of Avhich the Pep- 

 per gardens still existed Avhen Europeans flrst visited Java, and hence called by the 

 Dutch the Peper berg. It is a volcanic mountain , and no limestone is to be found near 

 it. In the Sunda language there is also the Avord Pakarangan for the enclosure round 

 the house of a greatman, Avhich see. The Malays use the word terkarang , set in order, 

 arranged when speaking of a book ; and rmngarang , to compose , to arrange either a 

 book or other matter.

 Mucuna pruriens, also Dolichos pruriens. Crawfurd giA r es Karawia as Arabic for Ca- 

 raway, Carum carui, and our word looks like a plural of this AA 7 ord , though one night 

 suppose that the Sundas would have au indigenous name for so virulent a natiA r e plant.
