342 A DICTIONARY SUNDANESE 



i 



sorts of rebels to constituted authority generally have , or pretend to be provided with 

 a P 'ancha-lima , with which they dupe their followers. Pancha is sanscrit for five , 

 C, 347 and Lima is also five in Malay, Sunda, and many other Polynesian tono-ues 

 and the compound word seems therefore to be tautology, of which the uninitiated are 

 not conscious. As Pancha, however, is indisputably Sanscrit for Five, we might 

 fairly expect that the other part of the expression would have its origin in the same 

 language and as Lima does not occur in Clough in any admissable shape , it may per- 

 haps be a contraction of sonie more extended word. The nearest approach which pre- 

 sents itself is Gaelima C, 186, sinking,- in the composition contracted to simply Lima 

 and the „five sinkings " may have indicated some method of drawing or selecting lots.
