Default Pangulu and Penghulu?

As you know Stone, as well as Karsten Sejr Jensen, calls the Bugis Jawa Demam/Kerdas hilt Pangulu. I haven't been able to find any other sources of this name.
I also noticed that collectors from Malaysia and Singapore calls the broad Bugis sheath Sampir Penghulu (village chief/chieftain).
I haven't either found any source for this name in any books or old articles.

Could somebody please explain if there is any connection?
