       INDEX

       Table of Contents

      Sultan Muda, heir-apparent. Lit. young Sultan, but seldom used. Iang di Pertuan Muda is the more correct Malay title. Cp. Pangiran, infra.

      Rajah Muda, heir apparent. Lit. young Rajah.

      Pangiran is the highest Bruni title. Pangiran Muda—sometimes Pangiran Muda Besar—is another title of the heir-apparent to the Sultanate. (Rajah Muda is only used in Sarawak.) It is a Javanese title and means prince. It is not, however, now confined only to persons of royal descent as formerly, and the title has become very common, especially as illegitimate as well as legitimate children of all pangirans assume it.

      Bandar (Persian).—The meaning of this word is a port. Datu Bandar, one of the highest titles in Sarawak, would mean the chief of the port or town.

      Shah Bandar means the Controller of the Customs.

      Bandahara (Sanskrit.).—A treasurer. The Pangiran Bandahara is the chief of the four Wazirs of Bruni. The present Bandahara is Regent of Bruni.

      Temanggong.—Another high official title, meaning Commander-in-Chief. The Pangiran Temanggong is one of the Bruni Wazirs.

      Patinggi (from Tinggi—elevated, exalted; hence Maha-tinggi, the most high). The Datu Patinggi was the highest or premier chief in Sarawak.

      Penglima.—A Malay title, also sometimes formerly given to Dayaks; means a Commander.

      Orang kaya.—Lit. rich man. A title generally given to Malay chiefs of inferior rank and to the Dayak chiefs.

      Haji.—One who has made the pilgrimage to Mecca.

      Tuan.—Master, Sir, Lord, Mistress, Lady. Tuan Besar—High Lord. Tuan Muda—Young Lord.

      Nakoda.—Shipmaster, merchant.

      Pengulu.—Headman. A title given to Dayak district chiefs.

      Inchi.—Mister—a lower title than Tuan. A title foreign to Sarawak, and in that country only assumed by foreign Malays.

      Abang.—Lit. elder brother. Datu's sons are styled Abang, and also Malay Government chiefs below the rank of Datu.

      Laksamana.—An Admiral.

      Imaum.—High Priest.

      Hakim.—A Judge: lit. a learned man.

      Awang.—A title sometimes given to the sons of Pangirans.

      Dayang or Dang.—Lady of rank. A title given to daughters of Datus and Abangs.

      Wan.—Another title given to Sherifs, but more generally to their sons. It is probably derived from the Arabic word Awan, meaning a helper or sustainer of Muhammad.

      The following Malay geographical terms should also be noted:—
