Thank you Amuk Murugul.
Yes, I am somewhat wizened, I was born in 1941, but I learnt both Indonesian and Javanese as an adult, and this exercise began in the 1960's. I regret to advise that in the circles in which I move, I do not very often hear Javanese as it was, and I guess still is, spoken to people of standing, more often I get rough colloquial ngoko thrown at me.
