It is a norm that many of the Orang Bunian words cannot be
understood by mortals as it is supposedly only understood by the non-humans
except for those people who are pretty close to Orang Bunian. Some of the words
refer to trees, wind, fire, earth, air etc.
According to a friend, majority of old Malay incantation are
from the realm of Orang Bunian. Below are some of the words comparisons as far
as I can remembered, taught to me by two Orang Bunian sisters in one of my many
dream visits to their kampong (village):
NYAWE = nyawa (soul)
NAN = yang (which)
MELATE = melata (creep)
BETAPAK = bertapak
(tapak kaki) [foothold (sole)]
BEBAYANG = berbayang
= mempunyai bayang-yang (shadow)
MATE ITAM = mata
hitam (black eye)
BEHAWE BENAFSU =
berhawa dan bernafsu (hawa nafsu) [carnality]
TIADE BOLEH BENIAT
DONGKI = tidak boleh berniat dengki [no jealousy]
ANIAYE KEPADE AKU =
aniaya kepada aku [injustice
to me]
KATE INDOK = kata
induk (parent word)
BONDE BE NYAO = benda
ber nyao/ nyawa (animate
objects)
Believe it or not, that is up to you J!
