the middle, and final a transformed into é. The m inserted in the middle is not, however, without precedent and gives to the word or verb a somewhat modified meaning, and may also be traced in a similar way in the word Kampung, derived in all probability from Kapung, or as it is pronounced Kěpung, to surround, to enclose. See Sumihung, Jumarum, Tumumbak, Kumisi, Kamayangan, Kěmbang, Kěmbung, Kěmbu and the like: also uměusi from ěusi. Mr. Friederich, however, does not feel quite satisfied, with this interpretation, as he has written me — „Jampé might have been erroneously explained by me. After all, this is not yet certain, In Javanese there is Jamu, Ngoko , Jampé, Krama, medicament, medicine. Gericke's Dictionary Page 561. I add besides Tajap (ta + jap, the Sanscrit root I told you of (above referred to) from which are derived Japa and Japya.) A prayer which is immediately listened to; et contra, a poison which soon takes effect, this is rather in favour of my explanation.” (The alteration of ya into é is very common.)
