Wangsit, malignant, virulent; having supernatural power to do harm. Leuweung wangsit , 

 a virulent forest, where man cannot tread without being overtaken by some malady 

 or misfortune. Parnujahan nana to laku di tinchah , wangsit , you must not tread upon 

 the place of penance , it is malignant. 



Wani, daring, valliant, bold. Sia wani nyachag ka maung , would you dare to cut at a 

 tiger (in the forest). To wani ngarajang kadinyo, I dare not tackle on to that. — We 

 have among the back mountains of Jasinga a Chi-barani , though Barani is never heard 

 in the language alone, and very likely here means the river of Baioani. So also in 

 Malay there is the expression , Batu barani , for the loadstone , Be si barani , for the 

 magnet, Marsden, page 39, which may have also reference to the goddess Bawani, as 

 representing courage. This Wani is further the same as Barani in Malay , Marsden , 

 page 38, bold, daring, courageous, which are thus probably both derived form Ba- 

 wani, the consort of Siva, his attribute of courage. The Sunda people have another 

 word for daring, viz Ludeung. — In the plural it becomes Wctrarani. Wararanieun 

 amat éta jélema, those people are very daring. 



Wanta, good advice, friendly instructions. Instructions in Jampé or incantations. Ifanta, 

 C. 637, from Wama, tovomit, Tata affinative vomited, ejected from the mouth. Per- 

 haps from always spitting upon a place over which Jampé is pronounced. 



Wara, to teach , to reprehend , to teil to do better, to inculcate , to impress by admoni- 

 tion. Perhaps the same as Wara , C. 638 , in the sense of permission , or Warana , 

 C. 638, defence, opposition, prohibition. Wara, C. 623, requesting, soliciting, pre- 

 vailing on a person by entreaty to undertake any business. 



Wara, is also sometimes used in the sense of Walca , as: ulali ivara di béré , don't yefc 

 give any, — and may then be Wara, C. 638, time, occasion. 



Waragang, right and true. Correct in conduct. Straight forward , worthy of trust. 



Warang, the mutual parents of married people, as the father of the husband is the 

 Warang of the father of the wife. In Malay this relationship of the parents is design -

Warangan, arsenic. Much used for a solution in which gobangs , Jcrises, badis and 

 other cutting instruments are steeped in order to bring out the Pamor , and preserve 

 them from rusting. Called in Malay Brangan or Barangan , Marsden, page 38. Also
