Sabil, Arabic, occurs only in the expression Prang sabil, a war between Mahomedans and disbelievers or infidels. Javanese Dictionaries give Sabil as: deadly, implacable. Prang sabil is thus: implacable war,—as with infidels who can have no mercy.

In Sumbawa they talk of a Brang réa, which means the great river (Batavian Transactions, Vol. 25, page 23). Brang is thus in the language of Sumbawa: a river, and will lead to the analysis of Sabrang on Java, where it is modified to mean: crossing a river, or across a river.

It has a wiry hard stem, with numerous small leaves serrated on the edges, and bears a pretty yellow flower, with five petals, terminal to the twigs.
