Sumatra, the island so called by Europeans. The island is not so known by any natives, 

 either on the island itself or on Java, and vet Europeans appear to have learnt that 

 name from natives, when they first visited the East. Natives do not appear to have 

 any general name, now adays at least, for the whole country, but designate its various 

 parts , as Lampung, Bangkahulu , Aché &c. &c. The natives of India called it of old 

 Jaica , as we 11 as the island which we call Java. At Singapore, to this day , they 

 call the wind blowing from Saniatra, angin Jaxoa. Amongst other derivations may 

 be suggested the following. Of the iioo Jawas which the Indians found on arriving 

 from the Continent, dislinguished by Marco Polo, most probably after a method in 

 use in his day, amongst Indian navigators, as Java minor, and Java major, the 

 minor or Sumatra is the more northern , and lener distant Java from India, though 

 as a country it is far greater in size than the Java of the present day. Vitara , C. 

 76, means the North, northern, this with the constructive Sa , which is of such frequent 

 occurrence , and is an abbreviation of Saha , C. 721, a partiele and prefix signifying 

 union , association , with, together, — would give Sa-ultara; between these two words bas 

 been inserted the peculiar um which see , and hence Sa-wn-uttara = Sumatra , in a 

 similar way that in Sunda , Jnmarum is derived from Jarum, Tumbak from Teinoeuk , 

 Tumorék from Torék. And hence Sumatra would denote — „the Norilterly one", tlte 

 northerly Island. Or it may come from Su , C. 742, good, well. Maira C. 536, 

 the whole, only, solely, exclusive and identical. Sumatra ~ entirely good, exclusi- 

 vely good, — from the rich luxuriant vegetation which the natives of India would every 

 vhere find , and so very different from the parched up coasts of Coromandel , whence 

 they probably came. 



Sumaut, said of certain fruits, as Mangoes , which have reached their full size, but are 

 not yet properly ripe. 



Sumba, the name of the island called in the maps Sandalwood. Noted for its good
