remarkable feature of the language of the inscription is the peculiar passive in ni-, which is completely wanting or lost in Malay. The Malay passive in di- is however somewhat analogous, for both di and ni are found as prepositions in various Indonesian languages. The passive in -in-, though hardly traceable in Malay, has of course a very wide range in Indonesia and is evidently a very ancient formation.
