Not in any pakem that I have ever seen, and I could not imagine any Javanese person with any self respect applying such a name to a pamor on the ultimate male symbol. To me, this sounds like current era pop krisolgie.

Why? Any reason?


In Keris knowledge, there is also contact name/mentioning with female.
For example:
Part of ganja keris called Rondo Nunut.
Rondo = Widow.
Nunut = Ride in / Boarding.

Dear Brekele,
IMHO, "rondo nunut" is not a "rondo" (widow) -- riding something. But an 'easy spelling' or 'quick spelling' of "rong dho" (two 'dho' -- two javanese 12th alphabets 'dho' or 'dha' in the greneng) nunut.

So, IMHO, "rongdho nunut" could be meant for "two more dhos above two dhos in the end of the greneng")

Below are two pics of Javanese characters or caraka scripts, vocal and consonant. And also, example of a keris greneng with 'rongdho nunut' at the end of the keris tail...

Yes Pak Ganja, correct, however, I think that a better explanation of the "nunut" might be that "nunut" means precisely to "ride along together", not "ride in". In the case of the ron dha nunut, it is "riding along together" with the other ron dha ( which could be more than an additional single ron dha) in the greneng. I understand your logic with "rong" , but a couple of very knowledgeable and respected people gave me my explanation.

I'm sorry I wasted your time Brekele.

If you need to ask, I'm afraid it is beyond my capacity to explain this to you.

Thank you Pak Ganjawulung for correct explanation.
I'm sure you are right about this.

Some Keris book explanation wrong about Rondo Nunut.
