It has all the classic curves, peaks and angles that the big brother next to it has.

Here also is the extract from Gardner, 1936 from which Zonneveld presented the text, it may or may not offer clarity.
Very interesting! Thank you Gavin!

The border between sewar and tumbuk lada is indeed fuzzy.

So, then I guess that no4 could be called tumbuk lada too.
