Sangkala, date, period; number. Era, epoch. Sang, a honorific prefix. Kala C. Ill, time. Occurs in conjunction with chandra, C. 194, the moon. Chandra Sangkala is properly a Javanese expression but applies generally to Java. In the Javanese Dictionary of Roorda van Eysinga, the following account is given of its acceptation: computations by the moon, the light of princely dates. Under this name there exists a Javanese work which contains a register of words, the purport of which is that you can select such as both express the dates, and record the fact to which they are made to allude. A chronogramma. For example: Sirna = O, Hilang = O, Kertaning = 4, Bumi = 1. These are read backwards, for the date „disappeared, lost is the peace of the land."
