Panglima, a title not used by the Sunda people among themselves, but used as applied 

 to some other foreign native chief. In Sumatra Panglima is a Governor or Chief', 

 a commander of forces. The word Lima means Hand in the language of the Sand- 

 wich Islands, and in most other dialects of the Pacific, but with this acceptation has 

 become obsolete in most of the more civilized languages of the Archipelago, particu- 

 larly in those of Sumatra and Java, though it is retained as such, viz the hand, by 

 the Bugis and Balinese. Lima in Malay and Sunda, as well as in most Polynesian 

 languages means also the number Five, no doubt originally derived from the five 

 fingers of the hand or the five toes of the foot. The gradation of rank as called 

 after parts of the human body, may be traced also in the v? oxds Pdnghulu, headman, 

 and on Bali they also use ChuJcurda, as a designation of rank, derived from ChuJcur, 

 foot.
