The word is evidently Sanscrit. The nearest solution to be found in Clough is Dhairyya, C. 303 steadiness, firmness, strength, courage, boldness. Agama, C. 61 an approaching, a coming. An approaching with boldness (from being aware of deception). (40). Děrma, benevolence, charitable feeling, liberality, moral propriety. Dharma, C. 299 of previous import.

The Javanese has also felt this, and we find there rung’u  and. mi-dangět, to hear; in the first the r, is omitted in the second supplanted by t;. mi-rèng. is an abbreviation of Kawi, With corresponds in Kawi. rěngua. To the Sundanese déng'e is the next in form the Javanese. déngěr, but the last has got the meaning to understand , which is naturally derived from to hear , to listen. Fr.

(40) More probable is a derivation from dirgha, long, far, and ma (from ma) measuring, where with the meaning in Sundanese corresponds ; Jav. drigama or dirgama (see Gericke), means to deny, to declare oneself faultless: also this meaning might be perhaps elicited from dirghama, but is much farther off, than the meaning attached to derigama in Sundanese.
