If I may suggest, just search for "chenangkas" and go to the thread "Piso Podang Batak or Borneo?" from 2011 please.

We seem to have a difference of opinions: nothing unusual in this field. I rely in Hamza Nama, Elgood, Brian Isaak and Jens. Personally, I could not think of better sources of info. But yours might be correct, too. |
