of stick with a fibrous point used by painters. Tuli, C 240, a fibrous stick or brush , 

 used by weavers for cleaning the threads of the woof; a painters brush , a fibrous 

 stick used for that purpose. Again at page 6 of Clough we find Akshar a-tulika , from 

 Aksara, a letter, and Tulika, a brush = a pen. The final S is the only difficulty 

 in the case, and Tulis no doubt means a method of writing, by painting on the let- 

 ters, derived from India, which would supersede the Gurat and Surat, er characters 

 scratched on bambu. See Surat. There is a word in Singhalese which Clough ap- 

 pears to have omitted, but it is given at page 50 of Lambricks Singhalese Vocabulary, 

 via Lissanaica, to slip, to slide. Perhaps the crude part of this word, which would 

 be Lis , has been joined to Tuli— Tuli-lis, elided into Tulis, as indicating the gild- 

 ing motion of the brush. The lis in the sense of slipping or missing is heard in the 

 word Pasalisihan , Salisih , which see. 

 Tulisan, a writing, a delineation. Predestination , appointed hour. Datang ha tulisan na- 

 na, his hour has come. His registered fate has arrived. 

 Tulugtug, a stake , to stick into the ground. A thick stick sharpened and set into the 



ground. 

 Tulung, Tulungan, to help, to assist. Aid, assistance, support. 



Tulus, done , accomplished, perfected. To come about, to happen. Tulus ayeunah sugi , 

 it now takes place that he becomes rich. Tulus VJumpang? is it to take place that 

 you set out? Tulus di jadihen, It has now come to pass that it is made. Hanto 

 tulus, it does not take place. 

 Tulus ken, to bring to pass, to cause , to take place. To execute. 



Tuma, a flea or vermin that infests dirtv clothing, and chanjres colour with the cloth. 

 Tumagung or Tumunggung, derived from Tua old , and Agung , chief, — comprising 

 thus a combination of qualities held in high respect by the natives , viz age and high birth. 

 The nm put between the two words implies: similarity to , possessing the qualities 

 of, — and in some cases continuity or repetition. Thus also in the Sunda language the 

 word Jumarum, means like a needie, from Jarum , a needie; and Tumumbak, like a 

 spear or Tumbak , two designations applied to sprouting paddy. On Timor the villa- 

 ge chiefs are called Tumagung. Tijdschrift voor Ned. Indie, 1 jaargang, deel 1 , page 

 393. In Java Tumagung is a title for a native chief next below Adipati. 

 Tuman, accustomed, in the habit of doing anything. Ti tutur datang ka tuman, from 



habit becomins accustomed. 

 Tumanih na, when at liberty, when you have time, at your convenience. The word is 



also sometimes heard as Tumaninah. Eiïkeur tumaninah , I have now leisure. 

 Tumbak, a spear, a weapon of defence , a lance. A land measure of 12 Ehineland 

 feet of each 12,357 English inches; see Kaki. A rood. Most probably derived from 

 ieuweuk, to stab, the peculiar um being introduced , and the w converted into b, and 

 thus an object with which to stab. It is supposed that originally the word Tumbak 

 was taken for a land-measure from the length of a chiefs spear, which is borne as a 

 mark of dignity before him , and was thus always handy for reference.
