PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.

This vocabulary has been prepared for use in connection with my'' Practical Malay Grammar." It was originally intended to incorpor-

ate with the Grammar an English-Malay and a Malay-English Voca-bulary, each containing some three or four thousand words, but in

Tiew of the fact that most jieople require a vocabulary containing as

large a number of words as possible and are subjected to much dis-

appointment and annoyance when they find that their vocabulary does

not contain just the very word which they require, it has been thoughtbetter to publish the vocabularies separately and to make them an

complete as is consistent with the low price at which such works are

«xpected to sell.

The list of words which is here offered to the public contains over

«ix thousand words and phrases. Tn such a list it is of course impos-sible to include all the Malay words which may be met with in even avery limited range of Malay reading, and the student will no doubtmeet with some expressions in conversation with Malays which will

not be found in this vocabulary. Great care, however, has beeniaken in the selection of the words, and it is hoped that very fewTvhich are in common use or are likely to be needed by the student in

ihe first two or three years of his study of the langaiage have been,

emitted.

In this vocabulary, as in the " Practical Malay Grammar," the-Malay words are printed in roman letters only. Comparatively fewEuropeans make any serious attempt to learn the Arabic character, andthose who do will no doubt require a dictionary rather than a voca-bulary. The omission of the Arabic characters has enabled theprinters to put out this work in a very compact form and at a cost

considerably below what it would otherwise have been.

The great defect of Malay vocabularies printed in the Eomancharacter has always been the difficulty of finding many of the wordsowing to variations of spelling. This has been particularly the casein regard to the romanization of the short vowel sound, which evenin the same work has been represented by different letters in different

words, according to the derivation of the word or the fancy of the?iuthor, so that in many cases the studcHt has had'to hunt for a wordin two or three different places liefore he has "been able to find it.

This difficulty has been obviated in this work by the adoption of the«ame system of romanization which has been used in my Grammar andin all the other Malay publications of the Methodist Publishing House.

V Preface.

Its peculiar featute is the entire omission of the short vowel. Thismakes it just as easy to find a word containing the short vowel as it i&

in a Malay dictionary printed in the Arabic character, for instead of

haying to Look up such a word as nschaya or psaka under two or three

different vowels, the student will-be able to' j5nd it at once from the

sound. It is believed that this ^vill be found to be a very great ad-

vantage.

The introduction should be carefully studied by those who desire

to make an intelligent use of this vocabulary. Part of the introduc-

.tion has been Teproduced from the Grammar, but there will also be-

iound a large amount of entirely new matter explaining the use of

prefixes and suffixes, the accentuation of .Malay words, and the use

and pronunciation of foreign words, etc. The student should not fail

.to make the fullest use of the Grammar, not only on account of the

importance of thoroughly understanding the grammatical constnictioa

of the language, but also because he will otherwise be unable to pro-

fit by the frequent references made in the vocabulary -to the numbersof the paragraphs in the Grammar, where fuller information will befound in regard to the use of certain words than could be given in a.

vocabulary.

Derived words will only be found under their roots. Owing t»

the immen,se number and variety of the derived forms in the Malaylanguage, this is the only arrangement which is at all satisfactory, andhas been adopted in all dictionaries and in one or two vocabularies.

At first the student will no doubt have some difficulty in finding out

what is the root of some of the derivatives, and it will be necessary

for him to make himself thoroughly acquainted with the use of pre-

fixes and affixes; this, however, will be found to be a blessing in dis-

guise, for it is impossible to read or speak the Malay language intellit-

gentlj' without a thorough -understanding of the derived forms.

An appendix containing lists of English words with their Malayequivalents has been added. The vocabulary itself contains manj''

similar lists ; for instance a list of the different classes of workmen will

lie found under tukarg, a list of the classifiers or numeral coefficients

under s-, cloths under Jcain, stones under hatu, etc. The lists of nauti-

cal terms and diseases should be of special use to sailors and doctors

respectively, and housekeepers will find a veiy complete list of foods

and household terms.

In the preparation of this vocabulary I am particularly indebtedto Favre's Malay-French Dictionary and to Klinkert's Malay-DutchPocket Dictionary. When in doubt as to the precise meaning of a-

word I have occasionally referred to Wilkinson's Dictionary, Part I^

but as the second part has nqj; yet been published this work has onlybeen referred to in regard to such words as come in the first half ofthe Malay alphabet. My list of words has been compared with othervocabularies in order to ensure that no important word has beenomitted. Several alterations and additions have been made at the

ing the manuscript previous to publication.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

The demand for a new edition of this vocabulary has enabledme to correct a few errors which crept into the first edition, and to adda number of words which, though not in frequent use, are liable to be

met with by the students

An attempt has also been made in this edition to indicate wordswhich are peculiar to the Malay spoken by the " Babas," or Straits-

born Chinese, and some of their differences of pronunciation. Thedifference between Baba Malay, and the language as it is spoken by theMalays themselves, consists, however, not merely in such variations as

can be shown in a vocabulary. There is a radical difference in the

structure of the sentences. For the most part the same words are used,

but the idiom is different, and would require a more thorough elucida-

tion than could be given in the introduction to a vocabulary. It is

hoped, however, that the Baba Malay words here given, marked (B.),,

will help to explain some of the peculiarities of pronunciation metwith in the Settlements, where Chinese influence predominates.

INTRODUCTION.

The Vowels.

The five vowels have the continental sounds :

a as in father. o as in hole.

e as the .ey in they. u as in rude.

i as in ravine.

In open syllables these vowel sounds have always a greater degree

of intensity than in closed syllables.

In addition to the above there is in Malay, as in nearly all Orien-

tal languages, another simple vowel sound which is often called the

short vowel sound. In the different systems of romanizing, this short

vowel sound has been variously represented by a, a, e,, e, i, i, u. u;but all these different methods of representing this vowel sound are

open to the great objection that they mislead Europeans and even

natives into giving it an incorrect pronunciation, and in a dictionary

they have the additional disadvantage o£ giving rise to so much divers-

ity and uncertainty in the spelling of words containing the short

vowel that prolonged search is often necessary before it can be dis-

covered which of these vowels has been used by the lexicographer to

represent the short vowel in the particiilar word which is being soughtfor. Experience has shown that the best way to spell words contain-

ing the short vowel with a view to helping tlie student to a correct

pronunciation, is to omit the vowel altogether, and it is believed thatthe omission of the vowel will obviate the difficulty of finding suchwords in the vocabulary. The exact sound of the short vowel shouldbe learnt if possible from a Malay; it is almost identical with thehalf-vowel sound in the first syllable of such words as " machine " and" balloon."

Wlien two vowels come together, both must be sounded, but thefirst must be run into the second; thus au has very nearly the soundof ow in "cow," as pisau, mau; and ai has almost the sound of theEnglish i in "ice," as, smyai, pahai.

Consonants.

'Ilie consonants in Malay are pronounced as in English, exceptthat the r should always be sounded much more clearlv and with moreof a riig than in English. The consonant hj represents a single soundin Malay, and should be pronounced like the ng in " singer," never asin "single;" the latter sound is represented in Malay by tyg; thus thetwo sounds are found in the words : si-iya and sirg-gah. The letter kin Malay when it occurs at the end of a word is not sounded like the

Page 11: Malay-English vocabulary, containing over 7000 Malay words

IKTRODUCTION. vii

English k, but the syllable in which it occurs must be pronouncedvery short indeed, and the breath drawn in so as to produce the

shortening of the sound. The apostrophe at the end of a syllable

indicates a similar abrupt sound'. Final Ji has also the effect of

shortening the last syllable, but not more than half as much as final le.

In the transliteration of the purely Arabic letters no distinction

has been made between o and !»; ^ and ^y> ; r- and e ,• or ^j

and i,"! • The other Arabic letters have been transliterated as fol-

lows :— ^ th, ^ kh, j dh, j z, JL sh, ^ dl, ]o tl, ^ gh, ^s f

.

Tlie nasal letter 'ain c. which changes its sound according to the

vowel written with it, is represented by a rough breathing (') placed

before the vowel. The purely Arabic letters given above are very

generally mispronounced by Malays, dh being pronounced as z, th as

*, and sometimes / as p, and z as j. Such words are given in the

vocabulary under both letters in order to mak6 it easy for the student

to find them; thus idhin will also be found under izin, and thalatlw,

under salasa.

Orthographic Signs.

As already stated, the inverted couuna represents the Arabic nasal

letter 'ain. It is placed before the vowel which has the nasal sound,

as in the words 'alam, 'ihnu, m'aliin, do'a.

The apostrophe represents the Arabic sign hamzah, both at the

end of a word as described above and also in the middle of a wordbetween two vowels, where it indicates that the vowels must be pro-

nounced separately ; this is also the case where the short vowel soundis followed by another vowel, as in the words s'isi, h'atas, t'akan, the

hamzah being used in such cases in the Malay character. The apos-

trophe is further used to indicate an initial short vowel before the -

consonants m and n, as in the words 'mas, 'ritah, 'lygan, etc.

Tlie hyphen is used in this Vocabulary to show the division of

the words into syllables, except w]iere the division is marked by ani

apostrophe or an inverted comma or by the mark ' which shows wherethe accent falls, as described below. In ordinary writing the hyphenshould only be used where a word is reduplicated, or to separate

from the words to which they are attached those prefixes, suffixes

and other particles which do not form an integral part of theword itself; these are: the preposition k-, the abbreviated numeral.S-, the passive prefix di-, the pronominal suffixes, -ku, -mu, and-lya, and the particles 'lah, -kah, -nah, -tah: The preposition di is

distinguished from the passive prefix di- by the absence of the hyphen.

viii Introduction.

References to the Grammar.

Words which are followed by numerals in parentheses are re-

ferred to in the " Practical Malay Grammar " in the paragraphs of

which the numbers are given, where in every case some further

explanation of such words will be found. By this means the Voca-bulary becomes to some extent an index to the Grammar, and in

regard to the use of certain words the student is enabled to obtain a

large amount of information which could not possibly be looked for

in a Yoeab.ulary.

Root Words and their Derivatives

In the Malay language a very large number of words are derived

from root words by the addition of prefixes or sufiBxes. Sometimesseveral prefixes and suffixes are attached to the same word, and there

is so much variety in their use that it would be extremely cumbersometo insert all such derived words in alphabetical order as separate words.

The plan which is followed in this vocabulary is that which has beenadopted in all Malay dictionaries, namely to put all derived wordsunder the head of the roots from which they are derived.

Some prefixes and suffixes are only used to form nouns, andothers are used with verbs. The former are

:

Prefix p, which denotes the agent.

Prefix p and sufBx an, forming absti'aet nouns from verbs.

Prefix per and suffix an, forming verbal nouns from verbs.

Prefix h and suffix an, forming nouns from adjectives andnouns

Suffix an forming nouns from verbs, and usually expressing

the thing which is affected by the action.

The verbal forms are

:

Prefix ber, which forms present participles with intransitive

verbs.

Prefix ter, which forms past participles.

Prefix di-, which forms the passive voice.

Prefix m, used with transitive verbs.

Suffixes han and i, which form transitive verbs.

In this vocabulary the derivatives will be found in the follow-ing order: (1) compound words apd phrases formed with the simpleroot in combination with other words; (2) the verbal derivatives;

(3) derived nouns. Only those derivatives are given which are inordinary use ; the fact that anv particular derived form is not foundin the vocabulary must not be taken as an indication that it cannotbe used.

In the case of words which are essentially verbs or can be used asverbs in the root forrii, the derivative formed with the prefix her or m,as the case may be, is given inunediately after the root. Where theprefix her is thus given it may be taken to indicate that the verb is in-

Page 13: Malay-English vocabulary, containing over 7000 Malay words

Inteoduction. ix

transitive, and where the preiix is m that the verb is transitive ; in the

latter case one of the siilBxes kan or i is sometimes given to showwhich of these forms is most commonly used; in some cases either

may be used. Some roots may be used either ti"ansitively or intran-

sitively, in which case the derivatives with ber and m are both given.

It must be understood that the preiix in can always be used with deri-

vative ^erbs formed with the suffix kan or i; this being the case it hasnot been thought necessary to give the derivative formed witli m as ^distinct form of the word.

In derived words formed with the prefixes ber, ter, pery di- and k,

the first syllable of the root undergoes no change, and the word cantherefore usually be discovered without any difficulty, but with the

prefixes hi and p the root in many cases changes its form. A referr

ence to the following list of changes will usually enable the student

to decide what the root is :

If the root commences with

I, m, n, or r, it undergoes no change;

b, the prefix' becomes mm or pm, as buka, mmbuka;p, the prefix becomes mm or pm, and the initial j> of the root is

elided, as putus, mmutusjd or j, the prefix becomes mn or pn, as dapat, mndapatjt or ch, the prefix becomes mn or pn and the initial t or ch of

the root is elided, as taroh, mnarohjg or h or a vowel, the prefix becomes miy or prg, as gali,

mrggali;

k, the prefix become mrg or prg and the initial k of the root is

elided, as kararg, mrgararg;s and sometimes ch, the prefix becomes mry or pry and the

initial s or ch of the root is elided, as suroh, mryuroh.

The chief difficulty in discovering the root arises when the root

commences with p, t, or k, from the fact that when the initidl letter

has been elided there is no means of knowing what that letter mayhave been; thus the root of m,mutus might be either muiiis or putus,

and that of rtinaroh and mrgararg might be either naroh or taroh, or

kararg or araig respectively. When in doubt the student must look for

both forms. Thus with derivatives commencing with mry, the root

should first be sought for uij^er the more common letter s and thenunder ch, those commencing with mn should be looked for first underi and then under n, those commencing mm under p or m, and those

commencing mrg under k or under the vowel which follows the mrg.

Similarly of course with ^Jerivatives formed with p in its various

forms.

Words of Foreign Origin.

Tlie Malays have a remarkable aptitude for adopting foreign

words, which in most cases become assimilated to the Malay style of

pronunciation, the spelling being sometimes changed to suit the new

Page 14: Malay-English vocabulary, containing over 7000 Malay words

X Intkoduction.

prontinciation. It is important that the student should know the

source from which such foreign words have come, in order that he maybe able to discriminate between synonymous words and decide whichshould be used in conversation with the various nationalities bywhom Malay is spoken. Thus one would not hesitate to use wordsof Chinese origin in speaking with the Baba Chinese, or to use Javanese

words in conversation with persons who come from the Dutch Indies,

whereas one should avoid words of Arabic or Persian origin except

when speaking with educated Malays. It should be remembered,however, that some foreign words have become so thoroughly incor-

porated in the language as to be well understood by all, as for instance

such words as waMu, 'umor, smoa, humi, fihir, fakat, etc. A large

iiumber of English, Portuguese and Dutch words, however, th^ough

well understood in the Settlements, are practically unknown to natives

living in the interior, so that it is necessary to exercise some discre-

tion in the use of such words.

-Spelling of Foreign Wor.Js.

Malay lexicographers have usually romanized words of foreign

origin in harmony with the spelling of the language from which such

words are derived rather than with the way in which they are pro-

nounced by Malays. This plan of having a different system for roman-izing foreign words causes great confusion in a vocabulary and hasbeen avoided as far as possible in this work. Such words will be

found spelt phonetically according to the Malay pronunciation. ThusSanskrit and Arabic words which are pronounced by Malays with the

short vowel sound are so spelt in this vocabulary, whereas most lexi-

cographers who use e for the short vowel have spelt such words with

a, i, or u, as tanira, nrscliaya. and pusaka, which are here spelt tnira,

nschaya and psaha. The former arrangement, though perhaps scienti-

fically correct, presents such unnecessary difficulties to the tinsophistic-

ated mind that a consistent system of phonetic spelling appears pre-

ferable. Again it may be more accurate to write kalimat shahadat,but as the Malays always say kliiaah shahadat, it would be misleadingto spell otherwise.

Acpent in Root Words.

In order that one may pronounce correctly, it is just as importantto know on which syllable the stress should be laid as it is to haveevery word spelt phonetically. A novel feature of this vocabularyis that the stress on each word is shown by means of an accent, in the

same way as is done iii Webster's Dictionary. It will be noticed

that in root words the accent usually falls on the penultimate. Whenthe vowel of the penultimate is short, however, the accent very fre-

quently falls on the last syllable. In some two-syllable words there

is an almost equal stress on the two syllables, and in such cases the

Page 15: Malay-English vocabulary, containing over 7000 Malay words

INTEODUCTION. xi

accent depends a great deal upon the position of the word in the sen-

tence. For instance when the words tiarg, iurun or ialian come at the

end of a sentence the accent falls on the last syllable, but when placed

elsewhere in the sentence there is some uncertainty as to the accent,,

though it generally seems to be on the penultimate. Words of Arabic

origin are often accentuated by the Malays in a manner different fromthe Arabs. In this vocabulary no attempt has been made to indicate

the original Arabic pronunciation; the aim has been to accentuate

every word in the way in which it is ordinarily pronounced by Malaysin the colloquial language.

Accent in Derivatives.

Many authorities on the Malay language have maintained that in

derivatives the accent moves forward on the addition of a suffix fromthe penultimate of the root to the penultimate of the derived word.

The Dutch scholar van der Wall was the first to controvert this

theory, which is also opposed by the grammarian Gerth van Wijk, andis undoubtedly incorrect. As a rule the accent in derivatives remainson the same syllable on which it stood in the root, the principal excep-

tions bein^ words ending in arg, in which the accent falls on the penul-timate of the derivative on the addition of the suffix an. Those whowish to see the arguments on both sides of this question will find it

fully discussed in a paper on " The Evolution of Malay Spelling," inNo. 36 of the Journal of the Straits Branch of the Eoyal Asiatic

Society, published as a separated paper by the Methodist PublishingHouse.

In regard to the division of the syllables it will be found that onthe addition of a suffix commencing with a vowel the final consonantof the root is carried forward to commence the new syllable. TheMalays invariably divide the syllables in this way, each syllable beingbegun with a consonant wherever it is possible. The same thing is

done when a prefix ending in a consonant comes before a root com-mencing with a vowel, as. ni-iya-l-u from mrg and aku.

Synonyms.

Another special feature of this vocabulary is that synonyms orwords of cognate meaning and sometimes those of exactly oppositemeaning, are referred to in the case of a very large proportion of thewords. This is intended to open up a very wide field of study to thosewho wish to make a careful comparison of the precise meanings ofMalay words, and who desire to be able to discriminate between wordsof nearly similar meaning. The advanced student is strongly re-

commended to make sxich words a special study.
