Liat, tough, tenacious. Daging kĕbo liat, tough buffaloe flesh. Kayu liat, tough wood.

Liat is not always so much tough, that is hard, as resisting any attempt to cut or tear it asunder; a cutting instrument only makes small effect upon it.

Likur, a word for forming numerals from and with 21 to and with 29. Salikur, 21. Gěnap likur, 26. Salapan likur 29. Likur has an analogous force between 20 and 30, to Wĕlas between 10 and 20, but this system of notation ceases with 29. 31 is tilupuluh siji; 41 opat puluh siji, and so on. Likur is probably a modification of Ligur, to lie about in numbers, but in confusion. As when the fingers of the hands had been used for counting the Wĕlas, probably stones or other small objects were put down to keep count, and in continuing the process beyond 20, these numerous objects were found to accumulate to an inconvenient extent, and thus Ngaligur to lie about in numbers and confusion.

Likuran, the numbers between 20 and 80. Bulan gĕus likuran. The month or the moon is in the stage between 20 and 80 days old.

Lilah, slow, slowly, taking much time to do anything. A good time ago, long since. Gĕus lilah, it is long since. Lilah jasah, extremely slow.

Lilin, wax, bee’s wax. Damar lilin a wax candle. Hoih lilin, the same as Hoih lĕulĕus, one of the most serviceable rattans growing.

Lilir, to begin to recover health or strength after sickness, to revive; to rouse up from sleep. Paré na gĕus lilir, the paddy has revived (after being transplanted).

Liliran, an interval of sleep till one awakes again.

Lilit, to twine round; to fold round as a string round a stick, a pea- stem round a rod. (Jav. Mal. idem.)
