Evidently our perspectives are taken from a different angle.
This is work, but one for pleasure ... i wish i have been some usefull.
If you didn't pose the question in the first place, i would have no chance to, before passing the findings to you, achieve all the knowledge out of them, myself. And knowledge allways comes handy.
I also ought to tell you that i completely assimilate your conclusions paragraph. It will still question myself if the Gunung called Sangkur has the configuration of a Spear, or some other kind of alegoric or symbolic relation, like a ( old spear/sword or modern bayonet ) battle having take place at the mountain, or the like ( coincidences are realy rare ).
Eventually i have found that the Portuguese ( and Dutch ) also had some envolvement in this thing of the places names. The Sunda region, for example, became a much larger area than original defined by the locals, because those foreigners "so decided".
Not to speak of Sunda Caldera ( vulcan crater in portuguese/spanish. )
Kind regards
