  • All meanings are mentioned in both Indonesian and Standard Malay (Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore) standard dictionaries, the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia and Kamus Dewan respectively.
  • However, the meanings from second etymology in Indonesian are no longer used, hence the meaning often refer to first etymology. Standard Malay (Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore) meaning often refer to second etymology, while meaning from first etymology is expressed with different loan word (azimat).
