Lelas
A word encountered in a report of a pirate attack near Sumbawa in +/- 1850:-
"--- she carried eight lillas as well as one large caliber gun---" Does anybody know what a lillas is? I've looked at Portuguese, Dutch, Javanese, Malay, Classical Malay, Oxford on Historical Principles. Cannot find the word anywhere. |
