all with one exception having the word uma for “ house ” or 
u village,” for which the Kenniah tribes use lepu. 
In the Encyc. Ned. Ind. it is stated that the Behau, who 
according to one subdivision are also called Pari, form a 
large complex tribe to which the Kayans belong. The 
Kayans of Baram in Sarawak must have come from Poh 
Kedjen. 
H. Keppel in 1840, and R. Burns in 1849, published 
vocabularies, followed by S. St. John in 1862, and J. Holland 
in 1879. None of these gave any definite indication of 
locality. Brooke Low’s vocabulary* also was indefinite. 
But Burns’s list probably represents Bintulu Kayan, and 
Low’s that of the Rejang or Balui. 
The vocabularies of R. S. Douglas and my own collections 
refer to definite villages. 
The Kayan dialects illustrated in the Vocabulary are the 
following 
1. Rejang Kayan ... Of the Rejang River. 
2. Uma Blubo ... Baram River. 
3. Uma Poh ... Baram River. 
4. Uma Baloi ... On the Upper Rejang, 
2. Kenniah. 
The Kenniahsf occupy the Baram basin mainly on the 
Tin jar tributary, the Batang Kayan or Koti, and also the 
Balui or Upper Rejang, and are contiguous with the 
Kavans. 
The Kin jin people (called Dyaks by Engelhardt) t are 
Kenniahs of the Balungan district in Netherlands Borneo. 
The following dialects are shown in the Vocabulary 
1. Kin jin 
2. Lepu Tau 
3. Lepu Anan 
4. Lepu Pohun 
5. Lepu Sawa 
6. Lepu Pun 
7. Malang 
8. Madang 
9. Long AM
