Padoman, a mariner's compass. This word might easily be derived from Du-wn, to di- 

 vide, and Pa-du-um-an, would elide into Padoman, anything which is portioned out 

 in divisions , to which the card of the mariners compass not only anwers , but without 

 it , a native , who had never seen such an instrument would naturally form the idea 

 of division , by having to turn himself to nearly the four cardinal points , which they 

 well know , and which are called by them Papadon opat , which see. This word is 

 also good Malay; see Maksden, page 216, though no word like Du-wn exists in Ma- 

 lay for to divide. Padoman , may also be derived from Dhom in Javanese , a needie „ 

 but Dhom is neither Sunda nor Malay. With P>hom meaning needie, the compass 

 would then be — an instrument with a needie — which is also a very apposite etymology. 

 The Sunda people never having been apparently much of mariners , perhaps the Ja- 

 vanese Etymology from dhom a needle, must be allowed to preponderate. (Jav. 

 *o<&m\ JDum, according to GerickeR., Division, corresponds with Sd. Du-um. Jav. Dom, 



Padomman, the compass; also a needle)
