 Pare, paddy, Oriza sativa. Eice in the ear or husk. When ground it is called Bèas , 

 and when cooked Kéjo. The Sunda people have an idea that paddy was called Pare 

 originally from growing up regularly to sarae height, and bearing fruit evenly, and 

 thus Papaharé, side by side, emulating each other; the word was shortened into Pare. 

 The Sunda people have a well known tradition that a time existed when their ances- 

 tors were not acquainted with paddy, but lived on Jégéng. Paddy is either grown 

 on irrigated lands and hence called Pare sawah, or on uplands dependent upon rain 

 and called Pare humah or Pare pasir. It may be useful to subjoin a list of the 

 varieties known at Jasinga, distinguishing the saiuah from the humah, giving the co- 

 lour of the rice and noting whether the ears bear awns or beards or not. The fol- 

 lowins; is a list of Pare saivah.
