A KELANTAN GLOSSARY. 



If a shopkeeper tells you to berguri, it 

 means that for your first purchase of all 

 you must pay cash but for anything else 

 you will be allowed credit. 



Tiada sa-keteh habok (or habu), an em- 

 phatic negative, " There is none at all:" 

 " It is all gone."" Sa-keteh is only found 

 in this phrase. Ta'pakai sa-kali habok, 

 " I never use it at all." 



(Aral). = "property"), the common pos- 

 sessive pronoun in Kelantan. 1 1 ah lata 

 = mine (saha'ya punya). Not used as an 

 adjective: one cannot say Rumah link 

 kita for " my house," bur Rumah itu link 

 kita for "That is my house" is correct. 

 Sometimes Uak ////', i.e. ••this*' simply: 

 or hak tua, " the old one." 



Direction : Hala ka darat. Hala ka sana, 



in that direction. 



Talterau = hi peduli, "don't care." 

 (pron : honggah ). to hasten, run quickly. 



Bent* husang, rice over from last year. 



In Kelantan is used as a delicate way of 

 referring to a loan. Few Malays will 

 openly say " I want to pinjam $5 from 

 you : " but most will suggest that they 

 shall hutang you as much as they think 

 you are good for. 



Sa Hiii. dua ibu, etc: "once," "twice," 

 etc. of blows, stabs, snake bites and insect 

 stings. 



= tangkap, to catch or arrest. 



A method of making one's guests pay — 

 and overpay — for their dinner or enter- 

 tainment by sending round the hat. 



A round in cock fighting, marked by the 

 fall of a small cup with a hole in the 

 bottom, which is placed in a bowl of 

 water : when it is full it sinks, and the 

 round is over. 



Used of men and women = " smart/ ? " got 

 up to kill," e.g. pakai jangak. So 

 " mail u jangak ka-mana?" "Where are 



you off to, dressed in all your best ? " 



= Black.
