Rh Tumpĕk, a day in an ancient week corresponding to Saturday. See Dité. All the other days are called by names analogous to those found under Dité. This day is called in Ceylon Sénasurada, which is from Sénasura, C. 761, the planet Saturn. On Java the denomination for Saturday appears to have differed from that in Ceylon, and no very satisfactory etymology presents itself for Tumpĕk, unless it may be derived from Tam, C. 239, greatness, dignity, eminence, and Paka, C. 381, the name of a demon who was conquered by Indra, but why his eminence the Demon succeeded Saturn does not appear.
