Magalan, name of the chief place in the residency Kadu. Magul, C. 504, the Elu form 

 of Mangalct, fortunate , happy, auspicious, festive; of the marriage ceremony. Alan, 

 C. 49. an ornament. Magul-alan auspicious ornament. Or maga, C 504, the Elu form 

 of marga, a road, a path. Maga-dlan road ornament. Both or either name may point 

 out to some connection with the approaches to the neighbouring grand temple of Boro 

 Budor. The name of the place is sometimes spelt Magalang, and also sometimes Ma- 

 galaan. (Bhagelana or Baglana is part of the Mahratti country. Might this Indian 

 name have been transferred to a part of Java ? Magalan could be in this case the same 

 as the name of the residency of Bagalen , which is proximate to Kadu. See Bagalen. Fr.) 



Magas, to cut away the seedy strings frora the end of the fruit stem of the Kawung Palm, 

 preparatory to obtaining the Toddy.

Mah, in composition seems to indicate a place, a spot. As Imah, a house; probably de- 

 rived from Diam, to dweil, to put up, to be quiet- this Biam, however, is not Sun- 

 da but Malay- and Mah. The I in imah may be derived from the Singhalese Innaica 

 to sit, to be at rest, to stand. The final nawa is constructive. Huma/i, an upland Pad- 

 dy plantation , from Ilua or Bua fruit, and Mah. Rmmah, an abandoned Paddy 

 plantation , after the erop of Paddy has been got off it; the meaning of Rëu is not 

 very apparent, as it does not occur as a separate word in the Sunda language , but 

 we have the following. Rëu-ai , having many children, prolific. Rëunëuh , pregnant, 

 with child. Rënung , springing up; so that lïëumah, may be the place of prolificness, 

 from the vigour with which the native jungle regains its ascendency when left to itself.

 C. 491. a weight, a load, a burthen. The name of the great epic poem so much ce- 

 lebrated amongst the Hindus; so called in allusion to the fable of the Rishes putting

 them.
