Séngyang, divinity, Godhead. This is a word in every one's moutb wben speaking of 

 tbe olden time, when tbe Javanese were still unconverted to Mabomedanism , and is 

 prefixed to many Hindu names — as Séngyang Wisésa, Séngyang Guru , and tbe like. 

 According to Mr. Fkiederich, it is derived from Hyang, which of itself is properly 

 divinity, Godbead. In Bali occurs a place called Sad-kaliyangan , wbicb means tbe 

 six tetnples or six divinity places. Tbe word Hyang is also beard in tbe word Guriang 

 or mountain spirit. Sang is no doubt also derived from Sanscrit; it appears to imply 

 boly, sacred , and may bave tbe same etymon as tbe Greek and Latin Sanclus. Tbus 

 in Sunda, tbe word is placed before simple Polynesian words , wben in Pantuns, it 

 is meant to endue some mere animal witb supernatural power. Tbus tbey say Sang- 

 kebo or Sajig-monyêt , tbe divine buffaloe or tbe divine monkey. Sang ha in Singbalese , 

 C. 688, means multitude, number, collection ; tbe Buddhist priestbood ; a convoca- 

 tion of priests , five of wbom constitute a Sangha. See Sang voce. Tbe word is al- 

 ways heard as Séngyang, though evidently Sangyang would be more correct. You 

 never bear Séng-kebo , Séng-monyêt.
