C III:144, note 6. 4 The sense of these two terms has been one of the most felicitous findings of Mme Pou; see her ``Recherches ... (VI)'' and dictionary, 95a, 420b. The terms apparently allude to the southwest monsoon and have the ring of expressions created by a seafaring people. Their rationale is hard to fathom without considering Malay di atas angin `above the wind, i.e. to windward', pointing to India, Persia and Arabia (northwestward) and di bawah angin `below the wind, i.e. to leeward', pointing to Indonesia and the farther islands of the archipelago (southeastward). Note however that the literal meaning of the Khmer expressions is the reverse of the Malay. Cf. jeṅ (tyak), `south' and *tpoṅ1 (tyak) `south'.
