Yes Shahrial, I do see "prabot" used often by Malaysian based collectors, that is the reason I phrased my comment as :- "In respect of Javanese keris---"

In Jawa, I understand that some people will use prabot, instead of ricikan, but according to the people I know, and have known, in Jawa, this is quite incorrect.

I think you will find that "prabot", and "perabot", are exactly the same word, only alternate spellings or inflexions.

Prabot can mean "furnishing" in Indonesian or Javanese too:- "prabot rumah".
