Rh Batawi or Batavia, the Capital of the Dutch possesions in India, situated on the island of Java in the Sunda districts, and founded A.D. 1619 at the ancient Jakatra.

Bati, profit, gain-maybe derived from Bhataka, C. 491, wages, hire, price.

Batik, a particular method of dying Cotton cloths, the pattern being first traced with liquid wax and the cloth then dipped in the dye stuff; the places under the wax are not dyed, and when the wax is subsequently removed, the pattern becomes visible. Pattern, design.

Batin, ar: hidden, occult, interier, ulterior- the future, what is not yet known. Inward thoughts, what we ourselves only can know.

Bating, no, not all, none at all, oh never!

Batok, the shell of a Cocoanut. Babatok, the skull.

Batu, a stone, a rock. Batu asahan, a whetstone; Batu uji, a touchstone; Batu bata, a brick; Batu riyeus or Batu giling, a flatstone for rubbing down any vegetable matter to a pulp, see Pangriyěusan. Batu Barani, the loadstone perhaps from Bharantiya C. 502, whirling, going round, revolving (as a compass does).

Batuk, a cough, to cough.

Batur, a companion, a fellow in labour, in play etc. Batur is in very extensive use, and means generally-other people, our companions or neighbours; a neighbour, a person in same circumstances as ourselves. Beunang batur, my neighbour got it.

Baturan, to keep Company with, to keep in Company, to associate

Bau, smell, odour, scent. Smell or stink. Bau na seungit, the smell is sweet. Bau na busuk, the smell is stinking.

Bauh or Bahu, a measure of land, of which four make one Jung. Bahu, C. 470 the arm. The Bauh recognized by government on Java contains 500 square Rhinelands roods or Tumbaks of each 12 × 12 = 144 square Rhineland feet = 72.000 square Rhineland feet. Now as 0.94310 Rh: feet = 1 Eng: 72.000 or 1 Bauh = 76344 square English feet per Bauh, or a trifle more than $1 3⁄4$ English acre of each 43.360 English square feet.

Bauh, the fifth in descent, the father counting first; and the terms for each relationship are thus expressed; Bapa, Anak, Inchu, Buyut, Changgah or Chénggéh and Waréng. These four last terms appear to be inversely used, thus the Bapa will call the 14 generation from himself, his Bauh, and that same Bauh will allude to the same Bapa as his Bauh. These lines complete seven generations, which the natives designate as tujuh turunan, and which in general is considered very ancient, and when property is at stake, if it has been in the family for seven generations, it amounts to what we call prescription.

Bauk, whiskers, hair on the cheeks.

Baur or Bawur, mixed, blended, intermingled.

Baurkĕn, to mingle, to blend.
