Pi, is a prefix of considerable use and of frequent occurrence in compounding certain forms of words. Now and then it occurs simply, but these cases are rare, as in the following: — Piagĕm and others seen below; but in general the word to which it is prefixed must have after it ĕun, when it gives the word the sense of „being used for some purpose", „of acting in some capacity", but with a prospective view, as Pi-hadé-ĕun, something that will turn out well. Pi-omong-ĕun, something to talk about. Pi-baya-ĕun, something that will cause disaster; — and thus many words will be constantly occurring in the Sunda language which will not be found in this dictionary. To ascertain therefore their meaning, it will be necessary to divest such words of the prefix Pi and suffix ĕun, and seek the crude word in its place, and to its meaning there found, add the prospective idea conveyed by Pi and ĕun, as Hadė, being found to be good ,— with the Pi and ĕun = Pi- hadé-ĕun, it gives something good in future, or at a time merely in advance of the present, which may, however, be the next moment.

Piagem, a rent roll or schedule given to the chiefs of villages on Government lands, showing what the village must pay, and on which the various instalments are marked off when paid. See Agĕm. Pi-agĕm is thus literally: the wherewithall to be dignified.
