526 A DIOTIONARY SüNDANESE 



gives Bajana and Bhajana for a vessel, a vessel in general, as a pot, a cup , a plate , 

 which in Malay has been modified into Ba jan i, and also sometiraes into Wajan, apan, 

 a vessel; see Marsden, page 30. So also Wacha becomes Bacha in Malay, and Waru, 

 becomes Baru. 



Wajang, to copulate as animals, not as human beings. 



Wajib, Arabic, necessary, proper, incumbent upon, obligatory. See Per el u and Ra- 

 kun, which have a similarity of meaning and all three are probably Arabic. 



Wak, the idiomatic expression of splitting, especially anything that splits with a noise, as 

 a bambu. Wak bai awina beüla/i, bang! the bambu split up. Wak, C. 634, speech, 

 saying, a word. Wakija, C. 634», a sentence, a word, a speech, dictum. If this is 

 a correct explanation, we have here a Sanscrit monosyllable adopted for an idiomatic 

 expression, which is very unusual , as this class of words appears generally to be 

 purcly Polynesian. 



Waka, the act of doing something, a state of exertion. A word difficult to translate by 

 any one oppropriate term. Tibet waka bogah dua siki, if only you could contrive to 

 have two pieces. TJlah waka , do not do it yet ; hold on a bit : have patience. TJlah 

 waka di béte, doiVt give it to him just yet. 



Wakap, empty, in no man's use. Irnah xoakap , an unoccupied house. 



Wakcha, used only in the expression wakoha icaléh , speaking out the plain truth , speaking 

 without prevarication. This expression is used by a man when he throws himself 

 upon the mercy or consideration of lus hearer , — when he unbosoms his difficulties. 

 Wakcha is probably a corruption of Wakya, C. 634, a sentence, a word, a speech, 

 dictum; a rule or aphorism , and would thus mean : an undisguised word or sentence. 



Wakil, Arabic, an agent, a representative, an attorney, a proxy, a deputy. An envoy. 

 An ambassadpr. 



Wakilan, to depute, to send or put another in our place. 



Wak il mutëlak, an agent with full powers. A plenipotentiary. 



W r aktu, Arabic Wakt, time, season , period , appointed time; Wakiu kami datang , at the 

 period when we came. Sambayang xvaktu , to pray at the appointed time, as Mahome- 

 dans do, on five separate occasions every day. 



Wak -wak, to chatter, to keep talking. JVak , C. 634, speech, a saying, a word. Our 

 icak-wak seems to be wak, duplicated to imply frequency or continuation. To üva ang- 

 g K éus wak-wak na, there is no end of his chattering. 



Walah, Arabic, by God. An exclamation of dissent or disapprobation. Walah jauh,hy 

 God it is far away. Walah saha nu daik, by God who will be willing? 



Walajar, to plough the sawahs for the first time in the season. See Ngawalajar.
