"The people were divided or grouped into families, known as _barangayes_ (the name of a small ship or vessel), thus preserving the remembrance of the conveyance by which their forefathers reached the islands. As the various families came hither, each in its own barangay--all, during the voyage, being under the command of a _cabeza_ (a head captain, or pilot)--the land was partitioned among them, so much for each family; while all continued, on the land, subject to the cabezas who had directed them on the sea. These in time were known as _datós_, or _maguinoos_. See the _Crónica_ of Francisco de Santa Inés (Manila, 1892), i, p. 57; Noceda and Sanlucar's _Vocabulario Tagala_ (3rd ed., Manila, 1860); Diego Bergaño's _Vocabulario Pampanga_ (Manila, 1860); and Andres Carro's _Vocabulario Iloco-Español_ (Manila, 1888)."--_Rev. T. C. Middleton_, O.S.A. [28] Meaning some plant used as an antidote for poison. [29] Apparently a phonetic variant of _pangeran_ (a Javanese word adopted in Borneo), meaning "prince." [30] In this connection may be cited Rajah James Brooke's statement, as given by Captain Henry Keppel in his _Expedition to Borneo_ (American edition, New York, 1846), p. 305: "The most detestable part of this traffic is Seriff Houseman ["a half-bred Arab" pirate in Borneo] selling, in cold blood, such of these slaves as are Borneans, to Pangeran Usop, of Bruni, for 100 rupees for each slave, and Pangeran Usop re-selling each for 200 rupees to their relations in Bruni." [31] Apparently a sort of "dug-out," used mainly as a lighter, for unloading larger vessels. [32] _Pulo_ (incorrectly made _polo_ in the text) is a term used throughout the Malayan archipelago referring to a small island or islet; this name means, then, "the small island Celemin." [33] The habit of chewing _buyo_ is common through the Malaysian archipelago. It is prepared by wrapping a leaf of the betel (_Piper betel_) around a piece of the bonga-nut (the product of a palm, _Areca catechu_) and a small piece of lime. It is thought to stimulate the nerves, especially in the digestion of food; and is a notable feature on ceremonious and social occasions. [34] Fine East Indian muslin. [35] Probably referring to the island now known as Boeton or Butung, lying southeast of Celebes. [36] Evidently the old port in Mindanao so called. [37] Probably referring to the island now known as Boeton or Buntung, lying S.E. of Celebes.
