SOME NOTES ON THE KELANTAN DIALECT. 7 
A phrase “ lolor-lolor’’ which means “at once’ may be akin 
“loh”’ as found in “loh ini,’ the Kelantan expression for “‘ now:”’ 
The interjectory loh-lah’’ means “come on;’’ and I believe that 
these phrases are all derived from a common root. 
Other phrases worthy of note are 
siat gak, which means jangan-lah (not with a verb) 
tiada sa-kéteh habok _,, tiada lalu 
z.e. there is none at all. 
Balar-lah no matter; tidak apa 
sut dah it is finished 
These notes do not profess to be exhaustive, or to deal fully 
with any aspect whatever of the Kelantan dialects: nor do I make 
any claim to have discovered anything that was unknown pre- 
viously. Ihave avoided words and phrases which are not in 
common use, and such as, being technical might not be known to 
any European in Kelantan. The compilation of the latter is 
secondary both in point of time and of importance. I have spelt 
many of the words phonetically as they sounded to my ear: and in 
many cases, as I have pointed out, the spelling is doubtful. My 
object, however will be attained if the publication of these notes 
induces others to set down and publish the result of their observa- 
tions. In this way alone can a solution be found for many of the 
difficulties in form and spelling which now exist.
