Oh, I see.

Those people.

Interesting.

Yes, you would be wise to keep that additional information to yourself.

Incidentally Penangsang, you have used the word "sifir" several times. I can guess what you mean by the use of this word, but I do not know the word. I have asked four native speakers of Javanese, two from East Jawa, two from Central Jawa, and they do not recognise the word. I have checked six Javanese dictionaries and I cannot find the word.

Can you tell me what language, or dialect this word comes from?

Thanks.
