where to put "mik", "yak"? all of this actually modern / pre-modern form of addressing relatives.
the old form of address esp. among tuak & tebusou always begin with amam/mam/ma & inak/nak, eg. mam umik for the youngest uncle, nak alou/ ma alou for the taller aunt/unc, or combined the form of address with name/nick name, eg mam ati to address uncle name meratim, nak iti to adress aunt name kitam,

singouh lah bedil nda kena bak nebak dagen merujuk keadaan "yang dialami", tetapi lebih sesuai gak wak tenaban atau terah deg (yang dirasa oleh deria sentuhan)
eg: "tenaban ko tan buduok lakei yen, singuoh lah bedil tan gaya, payen angai lah ji"

2012-05-30T04:51:08.430+02:00

in mukah version the lyrics of this song :

bubou mengasou,
mengilieang, mengapeang,
nait ka bilit,
ka rumah datuk kunai,
ya rabbi main sigai,

this lyrics repeated several times until the bubou begin "mengilieang" & "mengapeang"

gak a melanau mukah, esp kpg tellian, bubou mestilah bubou wak "tenikau" & bajou mesti "bajou a balou",

jalak agei isak (mun kena bak diangga isak) gak lian a melanau matai sabei yenlah pisak radin, tapi kategori isak radin segak sama ngan a pelatou sebab a beradin adalah a pelatou, sama kawak bei lagu & ritual bak mengiring isak itou, eg :

radin dindang, radin didundang,
alang gayung terjurai-jurai,
terjurai-jurai atas membatu.....ya radinnnnn
kembang payung tiup serunai,
pakai penurut puteri yang satu.....ya radinnn

ajau cuma bei bakak jumit un gei gak tellian a taou pisak radin, tetapi nda tapak gai tahap ke "alam radin", bei usaha bak menjadikan isak radin sebagai persembahan biasa, tetapi sehingga ajau nda kesampaian.

tahniah ngan blog itou, ko pejuah jumit pendapat,dagen a melanau lebih sesuai pigek rank sehingga "a matahei" (pure melanau rank) berbanding memasukkan tagan raja kelieng, pangeran, awangku/dayangku atau golongan perabangan, rank paling bau dagen melanau tulin adalah ulan pikul ngan status "megala" (dagen kedudukan sama gara/gahara, yen a kena pigek taraf a metahei, rank kedua a tujuk pikul, kena menuntut darjat sebagai "a nyat", rank ke-3 tujuk betirih (tapi dagen adet hanya kena menuntut berian lima pikul, dagen sesetengah keadaan senebut kawak sebagai adet "4 pikul ulan senaten", dagen aplikasi adet a lima pikul ngak nigek jadi a tujuk betirih, jadi rank lima pikul jadi kurang menyerlah, rank alak penyudah jarang senebut yen lah 2 1/2 pikul, jarang bei kawak a menuntut rank alak itou.
pasel "tebuih bangsa" wak itou hanya berlaku dagen keadaan "sidan adet", mana2 a lai wak rank siyen gai tujuk betirih & baai kena menyabek bak tubuih bangsa a mahou bak sawa ngan bayar gak tina tama a mahou kidak 4 pikul, tetapi amun a lai yen rank siyen tujuk pikul, tubuih bangsa nda perlu sebab keturunan sien mudei agei dagen golongan a nyadek bau darjat, tubuih bangsa nda kena bak nigek dagen hal2 kek selain kuman lian kawin walaupun a yen kaya @ bei kuasa, amun jelawaih a melanau menugak rank siyen debei ngan sebab2 wak nda bei patut maka jadilah perbuatan yen "menibuok adet" atau "menamei",

Hi!I'm currently doing a PhD in Australia and my research is about the music and dance of the Melanaus. I was born half melanau half Malay and i grew up in Kuala Lumpur since i was 2 years old. I came across your blog and i find it very useful. Will be going to Mukah in 3 days time to do some field work. By reading your blog i can get some insights on the Melanaus tradition, thank you so much!

Im a keen self-taught student of melanau culture. Im base currently in germany and love studying about melanau since i myself a melanau mukah too. Its sad to see our current generation lost touch of their roots and generalize everything that is of malays as melanau. Even the language itself is tainted heavily with malays vocabs and word order. And again I will broaden my research with the information you just gave me. I may be able to find and access the libraries in europe to search for more infos. Currently i use Stephen Morris as main source in my blog. Thanks for sharing :)

You are very familiar with the complete caste system of the Milano. Would I be presuming if I am to say that you are either a descendant of a keeper of the history or a well-taught student of the Milano culture. I believe that you may be able to find further references in the Brunei Royal Museum, the Spanish as well as the Dutch Museums. Pigafetta seem to have addressed the as the Milano in his ship's log. I do not know if there is much in the British though. The only reference I know have very much been focused on Tom Harrison's and Stephen Morris for later day history and Sylvia Brooke and Hugh Low from the Brooke Era.

I am an astrologer, faith healer and herbalist from Semenanjung. My agama is Sikh but I am well versed with Hindu and Christian cultures. I have also traveled to many South East Asian countries and given my wisdom and knowledge of making traditional medicine for various emotional and physical conditions. I also prescribe gemstones to those who can afford them according to their horoscope. I am a full time faith healer. The Shakti is very powerful to cure the uncurable.
By the Grace of God Almighty, everything can be made possible.

I am coming to Sarawak soon. Maybe in one week's time. You can contact me for consultation. 017-6138518 call me MJ (short form of Master Ji).
