414 a DICTIONARY SÜNDANESE 



the earth; türmeric; a yellow dye; a plant. Some plants are so called whicli Clough 

 mentions. Sada-gowri may thus imply : ahvays yellow , or always a maid , from 

 always flowering, — which would be a very appropriate name, though for so liumble 

 a plant is alraost unaccountable , unless the panditas gave it that name from growing 

 much about their dwellings, and as if it were seeking their protection. 



Sadana, an epithet usecl in Jampés, as: Sri Sadana. Sadana, C. 725, from Sadha, to 

 complete, accomplishing, effecting; wealth, instrument, agent. Sri Sadana is thus 

 probably: your highness who accomplishes , who can give effect, who is perfection. 

 A J a m p é begins with : Allah humah Sri Sadana — Oh God thou art He , the Lord 

 of perfection (of whatever is accomplished). 



Sadang, a variety of small palm tree growing along the south coast of Bantam. 



Sadangan, name of a climbing plant or liane with pretty white flowers, called at Batavia 

 Kerak nasi. 



Sadapan, toddy tapping, the act of making jaggory sugar. The tree which is in the 

 act of undergoing the process of tapping for the palm wine from which the jaggory 

 sugar is made. To bogah sadapan, I have no jaggory sugar-making going on. See

Sadérék, a brother or sister. Derived from Sa, Saha, with, one. Daeriya, C. 291, 

 a child, an infant; and E/c, élca, one subjoined. In the same way as Miniha, a 

 man in Singhalese becomes with this adjunct Minihek. Thus Sa daeriyék ox Sadérék, 

 being infants together , or infants of one mother. 



Sadiya, ready, prepared. The more usual word is Chawis. Word evidently Sanscrit. 

 Clough's nearest approach to the word is Sadhita, from Sadha, to accomplish, to 

 perfect, and ita, affinative, accomplished, finished. In our case the word Sadha has 

 annexed to it the very common termination ya in place of ita. 



Sadu, an interjection used at the commencement of some Jampés or invocations, as: 

 Sadu! kami méré nyaho, which may be translated: with perfect submission! we 

 bring to your notice. The same word is used in Ceylon , as an interjection to attest 

 the admiration of the people on any solemn occasion , especially when the old relic in 

 Kandy, called the Dalada, supposed, or given out to be, Buddha's tooth, is carried 

 in procession. Sadhu, Clough, 725, (derived from Sadha, to accomplish, to perfect, 

 and U affinative) a partiele or interjection of assent and approval : Well done, Bravo! 

 As an adjective it means: good, excellent, pleasing, beautiful; right, fit, proper.
