Mickey, in Indonesian, Javanese, Old Javanese "randu" means kapok tree.
In Modern Malay, Indonesian "angkup" means tweezers, pliers.
In Modern Javanese "angkup randu" could be understood as "unopened bud of the kapok tree" > "angkup" in Javanese is an unopened bud.
I do not know what "randu" means in Modern Malay, but I have a very foggy memory that in Classical Malay it is verb that means some sort of arm action.
