English translation | God. The word up to recent times was used in speaking of idols, charms, the deceased sovereigns, the reigning sovereign, anything valuable or wonderful; in these latter sense it seems equivalent to divine, supernatural, extraordinary, or surpassingly excellent. It is still so used in the more distant parts of the island, and among the unenlightened people of the central province even. It is said that the name was so given because while the body might not be seen, there was a fragrancy attending the name. See zanahary [Richardson 1885] | ||||
