BUNTEL MAYAT

Oh well Ganja, if you cannot see the problems I have attempted to outline, if you cannot see the co-relation between the physical appearance of pamor buntel mayat, and the meaning of buntel mayat, then I reckon I must write English in a very much less clear fashion than I try to.

Yep, buntel mayat sure ain't Sasak, but tambangan has its roots in Old Javanese. Pretty much what I guessed at yesterday.

Obviously buntel mayat, or if you prefer, buntel mayit, is a comparatively recent name, dating at its earliest from the 17th century.

I reckon we've just about come full circle on this discussion.

We can all believe whatever we wish.

We can go with the flow, or we can accept the belief of one of the great ahli keris, and trust the verification of logic and history.
