Malay equivalents for military terms
A brief lexical reference by Capt. N. M. Hashim providing Malay equivalents for British military ranks and organizational designations, published in the Journal of the Malayan Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1924.
Summary
The substantive content of this item is a two-column table (p. 84) listing Malay terms for British military ranks and unit designations, ranging from individual ranks (e.g., Lance Corporal = Alang Dekar, Private = Gagah) through command titles (e.g., Commander-in-Chief = Imam Prang, Colonel-in-Chief = Panglima Atas) to organizational units (e.g., Battalion = Ketumbakan Agong, Company = Ketumbakan, Platoon = Sayap). The list also covers force designations (Land Forces = Tantra Darat, Sea Forces = Tantra Laut) and ceremonial items (Colours = Panji-panji).
The preceding page (p. 83) contains the concluding entries of a separate Malay vocabulary list authored by G. Beresford Stooke, which is included here only because the two items share the same page range in the journal.
