Another characteristic list of words might be made, compounded with the monosyllable tang (which in Sakai and Semang means "hand"), and conveying an idea of seizing or holding.
Tang-an the hand. Tang-kap to seize. Tang-kei a stalk. Tang-gong to support. Tang-gal to drop off (having left hold). Tong-kat a walking-stick, &c.
The history of the Malay people is to be discovered in the language itself, for no authentic records of pre-Muhammadan times exist. Just as an insight into the early history of our own nation may be obtained by analysing the component parts of the English tongue, and assigning to each of the languages which have contributed to make it what it is their due proportion of influence, so, by resolving the Malay language into its separate elements, of which native, Sanskrit, and Arabic are the chief, and by examining the words contributed by each, it is possible to follow with some approach to historical

Malay Proper Names.The proper names common to the whole Muhammadan world, many of which are Hebrew also, are in use among the Malays. It is common, however, to abbreviate them in a manner peculiarly Malay. For example, “Muhammad” is shortened to “Mat,” “Ibrahim” becomes “Brahim” and “Him,” and for “Isahak,” “Sahak” and “Ak” are often heard.
Certain names are also in use, which, either used by themselves or prefixed to other proper names, show the relative seniority of a person in his or her family. In Kedah, Penang, &c., three of these are commonly used, “Long,” “Ngah,” and “Busuk:”—
Long is equivalent to Sulong, “eldest,”
Ngah is equivalent to Tengah, “middle,”
Busuk is equivalent to Bongsu, “youngest.”
In Perak seven of these names are in use:—
1. Long.
2. Ngah.
3. Alang.
4. Panjang.
5. Pandah.
6. Uda.
7. Utih.

Money.The currency in the Straits of Malacca is the Spanish dollar (ringgit or real) divided into cents. A quarter of a dollar (25 cents) is called suku (quarter). Local terms are also used to denote fractions of the dollar, as in Penang, kupang (= 10 cents), and in Malacca, wang baharu (= 2½ cents).
In the native states on the west coast of the peninsula, the currency of the British settlements has almost entirely displaced that which was in use before. In Perak lumps of tin were formerly current as coin; in addition to these Dutch and Spanish silver coins were also employed.
The following are some of the old modes of reckoning:—
Tin Coinage. 2 boya, 1 tampang (value the 10th part of a dollar).5 5 boya, 1 bidor (value the 4th part of a dollar). Silver Coins used in Weighing Gold. 2 penjuru, 1 piah, weight 1 mayam. 4 piah, 1 jampal, weight 4 mayam. 2 jampal, 1 real, weight 8 mayam. Coins Formerly in Use. 36 duit hayam (copper), 1 wang (silver). 7 wang, 1 suku.1. Tulih tinggala muda is about 9 A.M., and tulih tinggala tuah about 11 A.M.
2. 1 kati = 1 lb. 6 oz. 13 drs.
3. 1 bungkal = the weight of two Spanish dollars = 832 grains.
4. 1 gantang contains 271.65 cubic inches, or 1¼ gallons nearly. The standard varies according to locality.
5. The weight of the tampang (in Perak) was one kati. It was a small cubical lump of tin, with a pattern stamped on it. The bidor weighed 2½ kati, or the 40th part of a pikul.
