Although Dutch orthography is neither convenient nor familiar to most readers I have thought it better to preserve it in transcribing Javanese. In this system of transcription j = y; tj = ch; dj = j; sj = sh; w = v; oe = u.] [Footnote 371: Râm. IV. 40. 30.

The transcriptions of Chinese characters given in the following pages do not represent the modern sound but seem justified (though they cannot be regarded as certain) by the instances collected in Julien's _Méthode pour déchiffrer et transcrire les noms sanscrits_. Possibly the syllables Do-a-lo-pa-mo are partly corrupt and somehow or other represent Pûrṇavarman.] [Footnote 379: Kern in _Versl. en Meded, Afd.

Indians in those regions were commonly known as Kaling because they came from Kalinga and in time the parts of the Peninsula where they were numerous were also called Kaling.] [Footnote 385: See for this question Pelliot in _B.E.F.E.O._ 1904, pp. 274 ff.
