Some Austronesian Maverick Protoforms with Culture SOME AUSTRONESIANMAVERICK PROTOFORMSWITH CULTURE- HISTORICALIMPLICATIONS- 1 WARUNO MAHDI Noting the increasing weight given to exclusively shared innovations as subgrouping criteria, this paper investigates distortions that may occur throughinclusion of nonauthenticlexical innovations(which it termsmaver- icks) and correlatesexamples of such nonauthenticinnovations with datable archaeologicaland historiographicdata. Protoformsfor 'iron' are found to be nonauthentic,their distribution sug- gesting the Sulu-Sangirarea as an importantdispersal center, and agreeing with historiographicand linguistic evidence for considerablePhilippine and Malay borrowinginto Formosanlanguages. XBuJa-lawau 'clove' and Xsalaka 'silver' are connected with the Malay spice trade since 200 B.c.; Xpirak'sil- ver' and X(a)mas 'gold' with Funan overlordship in the third and fourth centuries A.D., whereby an identification of the location of protohistoric Yavadvipa is made. Linguistic evidence on sorghum and millet suggests dispersal in the Philippine-Indonesia'areabetween 1500 and 700 B.C.,being contemporanouswith the transmissionof XbuLauan'gold'. Data for rice are found to agree with Bellwood, although they suggest that it was a highland ratherthan lowland crop in the Philippine-Indonesiaarea. The dispersal of Xparijand Xparigi?'ditch around stone fortification' suggests dispersal of the late megalithic from Sulu-Sangirto West Indone- sia, implying an Indonesianorigin for the megalithic of South and Northeast India. Linguistic evidence is proposed for a Southeast China origin for the Austronesian double canoe, for Austronesianparticipation in development of the 'ship of the dead' cult in Indochina,and for an Austronesianintroduc- tion of high-seas shipping to India. A "substratumtrail" tracing the migra- tion route to Oceania is investigated. Forms for 'person' throw light upon the relationshipbetween mongoloid and australoidAustronesians, suggest- ing that Proto-Austronesianwas spoken by australoids. Nonreplacementinnovations are found to be unreliable as subgrouping criteria,and it is concludedthat the methodsof "exclusivelyshared innovations" and "treatmentas dialect chain"should be mutuallyexclusive approachesto subgroupingproblems. Because all subgroupingmethods are susceptible to distortion, the authoradvocates inclusion of all available methods, in spite of the disparatiesto be expected. 1. PRELIMINARY NOTES. When Dempwolff (1938) crowned his monu- mental work on Austronesian (henceforth An) historical phonology with the Oceanic Linguistics,Volume 33, no. 1 (June 1994) ? by University of Hawaii Press. All rights reserved. 168 OCEANICLINGUISTICS, VOL. 33, NO. 1 publicationof his corpusof An protoforms,he includedamong these a few recon- structionsthat he explicitlymarked as beingnot authenticPAn.2 These weresome earlyborrowings, typically from Sanskritor Chinese,displaying a distributionof cognatesin An languagesthat exhibited sound correspondences similar to those of reflexes of authenticprotoforms. To distinguish them from authentic An protoforms,which are conventionallymarked as reconstructionsby an asterisk (*), the "false"ormaverickprotoforms-as I shallcall them-were identifiedby a raisedmultiplication sign (x).3 In the discussionthat follows, I shall also be deal- ing with uncertaincases, for which I shallplace the multiplicationsign in a circle (?) to indicatethat the protoformis perhapsa maverick. It may be arguedthat maverickprotoform is something of a contradictionin terms. However, with regard to directly inherited reflexes in daughtersof a mesolanguage in which it initially appeared,a maverickis essentially quite a normalprotoform. When no externalevidence for borrowingfrom anotherlan- guage family is given, it only reveals its "maverick"nature when internalcog- nate forms exhibit a distributionthat implies greatertime depth thanis histori- cally credible, an irregularpattern of sound correspondences,or some other peculiarity,such as when, for example, it is the result of propagationthrough contact influence within the language family, or parallel borrowing into lan- guages of the family from an outside source that is no longer identifiable.Be- cause irregular sound correspondences can also be observed in reflexes of authenticprotoforms, excluding mavericksfrom the protoformswould create unsurmountabledifficulties in marginalor ambiguouscases. For example, Mly karbaw, Tob horbo, Lpg kibaw, OJav kabo 'carabao' permit the reconstruction of the seemingly authentic "Javano-Sumatranic" protoform *koRbau.4However, a comparison of cognate forms in Austro- asiatic languages reveals, first of all, that the protoformis probably an early borrowingfrom East Austroasiaticand thus a maverick,and, second, that the present Chamic cognates (Cam kapacw,Jry kabaw,Rgl kubaw)probably result from another, independent borrowing from the same source (Mahdi 1988: 367-370).5 The Malay reflex, in turn,was spreadby Malay-speakingseafarers throughoutthe Malay Archipelago,generating a secondarydistribution of cog- nates answeringto Xkarabauas their effective protoform.6 As this example shows, mavericksmay be of external(XkaRbau) or internal (Xkarabau)origin. In the lattercase, the "mesoform"that, like the Malay reflex in the above example, generates a secondary distributionof cognate forms, could also reflect an authenticprotoform. For example, Mly urut 'follow (in row), massage', reflecting PAn *SuRu[Ct]7(for example Ami mi-sorot,Tag hugot,Nga ohot,Bal huhut,MlgMe otra, Fji uru-uru),has apparentlyinitiated a secondarydistribution of cognates having as effective protoformXurut (for ex- ample, Jav, Nga urut,Bal hurut,MlgMe orotra).8 To avoid transgressionsagainst methodological soundness, it is stipulated here that protoformwill refer to a (typically reconstructed,and thus putative) SOMEAUSTRONESIAN MAVERICK PROTOFORMS-I 169 precursorfrom which a distributionof observed and apparentlycognate forms is assumed to have been generatedby inheritanceand/or by borrowing.Corre- spondingly, the term reflexwill be used in a sense that does not preclude bor- rowing. Actually, this is the de facto meaningthese termshave had all along in Austronesianlinguistics, because the share of borrowingsin the databaseun- derlying the existing corpus of reconstructionsis probablyvery much greater than generally appreciated. It is well known that words denoting items of culture or having some significantconnection to culturedevelopment are much more often borrowed from language to language than words of the so-called basic vocabulary.The likelihood that a protoformthat is such a "cultureword" may turnout to be a maverickis thereforemuch higher than one that is in the "basic"range of vo- cabulary.These same "culturewords" in the corpusof protoformsare however of particularinterest to the historianand anthropologist,for quite obvious rea- sons. In view of the distortionsto be expected when maverickprotoforms not identifiedas such are employedin historicaland anthropologicalinvestigations, and because historiansand anthropologistsare not typically also linguists ca- pable of making the necessary distinctions,particular responsibility lies with linguists in this matter. On the otherhand, mavericks in the corpusof protoformsneed not representa nuisance,or serve as nastypitfalls for the unsuspectingreconstructionist. When duly detectedby the waryand discerning eye, they mayprovide invaluable insight into early ethniccontacts and routesof earlydispersals and tradecontacts. More importantfor the linguist, they may also help expose early language contacts, distinguish genealogicallanguage groupings from regionallanguage affiliations resultingfrom convergence, and identify various lexical strata.This is particularly importantin Austronesianlinguistics, because it is concernedwith languagesof peoples who exhibitan intenselydeveloped inclination for migrationsover long distances,in which closely relatedisolects may end up as far apartas Malagasy and Maanyan,or Hawaiianand Maori. This could not fail to give rise to numer- ous stratain the vocabularyof Austronesianlanguages (see Capell 1943, Zorc 1974), runningacross boundariesof genealogical language groups with their distinct inheritedvocabularies. The ubiquityof such stratain the Austronesian family demandsmuch caution, for example,in the implementationof the method of subgroupingby ExclusivelyShared Innovations, which is very susceptible to distortionby cross-linkingstrata and convergencefeatures. In this paperI provide illustrationsof the variousforms in which mavericks may manifestthemselves, as well as variousways in which the study of maver- icks may contributeto a betterunderstanding of ethnohistoricalprocesses. My main concern will be, however, to demonstratethe crucial importanceof de- tecting mavericksin Austronesianhistorical linguistics, because of the uncom- mon complexity and uniquelyhigh rate of recurrenceof internalcontacts over the whole distributionarea, and during the entirehistory of this languagefamily. 170 OCEANICLINGUISTICS, VOL. 33, NO. 1 Modern knowledge in the historical linguistics of Austronesianand other languages sheds new light on some otherwise relatively well-known historio- graphic data. New results obtainedin this way, placed into relation with data on maverickprotoforms, make it possible to date variouslinguistic and ethno- cultural processes of prehistoricaland protohistoricaltimes, as I shall try to demonstratein several cases below. Another importantaspect of mavericksis the problem of nonauthenticAn "protophonemes."Mavericks

Bergmans and P. J. H. van Bree Institute of Taxonomic Zoology (Zoological Museum), University of Amsterdam Receipt of Ms. 21. 2. 1986 Abstract Studied and described is a recent collection of small mammals from the Kangean Islands. Ten bat species represent new records for the Islands: Rousettus amplexicaudatus, Nycteris javanica, Rhinolophus madurensis, Hipposideros bicolor, H. cervinus, H. cineraceus, H. diadema, H. larvatus, H. macrobullatus and Myotis adversus. The series of Nycteris javanica is described as a new subspecies, N. j. bastani. Rhinolophus borneensis parvus is considered a synonym of Rh. madurensis. Hipposideros bicolor macrobullatus is raised to specific rank. Two species of rats are recorded: Rattus argentiv enter and R. rattus diardii. Introduction In his recent survey of the literature on Indonesian mammals van der Zon (1979) mentions the foUowing Chiroptera from Kangean Island (Fig. 1): Pteropus alecto aterrimus Matschie, 1899; Cynopterus brachyotis insularum Andersen, 1910; Macroglossus minimus minimus (Geoffroy, 1810); Macroglossus sobrinus (Andersen, 1911); Megaderma spasma trifolium Geoffroy, 1810; Pipistrellus imbricatus (Horsfield, 1824); Kerivoula hardwickii (Horsfield, 1824). According to Dr. N. J. van Strien (in verbis, 4-IX-1985) the following species should be added to this list: Rhinolophus affinis affinis Horsfield, 1823.

Country and Project Name: Indonesia – East Java & Bali Power Distribution Strengthening Project 2. Project Development Objective: The expansion of the distribution network comprises erection of new poles, cable stringing, and installation of distribution transformers. 3. Expected Project Benefits: Construction of about 17,000 km distribution lines and installation of distribution transformers in East Java and Bali 4. Identified Project Environmental and Social Risks: Social Risks. It is envisaged that this project will require (i) use of no more than 0.2 m2 of land for installation of concrete poles and approximately 4m2 for installation of transformers (either in cabinet of between two concrete poles or on one pole); limited directional drilling (approx. 200-300m) to run cables under major roads and limited trenching (usually less than 500m) in urban environments, and (iii) possible removal of non-land assets (primarily trimming or felling of trees) for stringing of conductors. While restrictions on land use within the existing right of way apply, the land requirements for the distribution network (lines and transformers) are considered manageable with normal mitigation measures. Project activities will not (i) require land acquisition, (ii) cause physical or economic displacement; and/or (ii) result in adverse impacts to Indigenous Peoples groups and/or members of ethnic minorities. Environmental risks are principally induced by the establishment of the network across natural habitats and potential impact on fauna (in particular avifauna and terrestrial fauna susceptible to access the distribution lines or transformers such as monkeys or other tree dwelling scavenging animals that frequent semi urban environments), and the management of waste (e.g.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Undiscovered Petroleum Resources of Indonesia by John Kingston Open-File Report 88-379 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature 1988 ASSESSMENT OF RECOVERABLE ENERGY RESOURCES The World Energy Resources Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Intends to develop reliable and credible estimates of undiscovered recoverable petroleum resources throughout the world. Initial program efforts have focused on the major producing areas of the world to gain a broad geological understanding of the characteristics of petroleum occurrence for purposes of resource assessment, as well as for analysis of production potential. Investigations of production potential are carried out In cooperation with other U.S. Government agencies; specifically, the studies of the main free world exporting nations, of which this study Is a part, are carried out In cooperation with the Foreign Energy Supply Assessment Program of the Department of Energy. The estimates represent the views of a U.S. Geological Survey study team and should not be regarded as an official position of the U.S. Government. The program seeks to Investigate resource potential at the basin level, primarily through analogy with other petroleum regions, and does not necessarily require, therefore, current exploration Information that Is commonly held proprietary. In conducting the geological Investigations, we Intend to build a support base of publicly available data and regional geologic synthesis against which to measure the progress of exploration and thereby validate the assessment. Most of these Investigations will lead directly to quantitative resource assessments; resource assessment, like exploration, to be effective, must be an ongoing process taking advantage of changing Ideas and data availability the results produced being progress reports reflecting on a state of knowledge at a point In time.

  • Introduction
    chapter 1 Introduction In the last two decades, major changes have taken place in the livelihoods of Indonesian people. Some groups in society have experienced major improve- ments in living conditions, benefitting from steady economic growth of about 6.5% annually (Burke and Resosudarmo 2012:301), while other groups have missed the boat and face economic stagnation, social exclusion, political underrepresentation, dispossession of land and growing inequality (Alatas et al. 2012, Hall et al. 2011, McCarthy et al. 2012, Nooteboom 2008:43). This inequality is often based on class and ethnicity and includes spatial dimen- sions such as inequalities between cities and rural areas and between regions (Mishra et al. 2009, Suryadarma et al. 2006). A significant group of people who seem to have largely missed out in the new Indonesia are the Madurese1 (Stenross 2011:27–29). Although the national economy has almost doubled since 2000,2 a large proportion of the Indonesian people still live in poverty and face daily difficul- ties in making ends meet. According to a 2012 World Bank Country Report: ‘Out of a population of 234 million, more than 32 million Indonesians currently live below the poverty line and approximately half of all households remain clus- tered around the national poverty line set at [a very low] 200,262 rupiahs per 1 Throughout this book, the term ‘Madurese’ simply refers to Madurese-speaking people. Among them, there are many differences regarding area of origin, self-identification and offi- cial representation. Madurese themselves make more refined qualifications regarding region of origin and language use, and their self-identification might differ from those imposed by outsiders.

  • Status Report on Indonesian Galliformes
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by KUKILA STATUS REPORT ON INDONESIAN GALLIFORMES Compiled by D.A. Holmes Introduction This is a preliminary report on the status of galliformes in Indonesia, which has been prepared with three objectives: to alert conservationists to areas of danger, to demonstrate the paucity of data for most species, and to serve as a basis for updating Information. An IUCN/ICBP Red Data Book 'category is given for each species (endangered, vulnerable, rare, Indeterminate and out of danger), but it cannot be too strongly emphasized that this category, which refers only to Indonesia, is PROVISIONAL; in many cases it 1s little more than a guess. Against each species is also stated whether or not -it is protected under Indonesian law. Direct human Intervention is believed to threaten especially the megapodes, which are heavily exploited for their eggs. Traditionally this has been done on a more or less sustainable basis, but there is accumulating evidence that any sharp increase in rural population, for example on government-sponsored transmigration schemes or spontaneous inflow of farmers from other regions, may quickly result in extermination of populations locally, especially for those megapodes that breed colonially. R. Dekker (pers. comm.) states that any one species may give an impression of being common, but if these are only adult birds, it is possible that the eggs are already being over-harvested and the population is not being replaced. Thus surveys, mapping, monitoring and management of breeding sites of certain species may be an urgent priority. Loss of habitat is the second main threat for all galliformes that are dependent on a forest habitat; this applies especially to the lowland specialists, island endemics, and those intolerant of disturbance through logging.

Laverov Federal Center for Integrated Arctic Research of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Northern Dvina Emb. 23, 163000, Arkhangelsk, Russia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received 15 September 2020 │ Accepted by V. Pešić: 6 October 2020 │ Published online 8 October 2020. Abstract Although the Odonata are common inhabitants of various extreme environments such as geothermal springs, brackish wetlands, mangroves, and volcanic lakes, the assemblages of this group associated with extreme habitats in Australasia are rather poorly known. Here, we combine museum collection data and published reports on Odonata from extreme habitats on Flores Island, Lesser Sunda Archipelago. The highly acidic Sano Nggoang Crater Lake (mean pH = 3.17) on Flores houses seven species as follows: Agriocnemis pygmaea, Xiphiagrion cyanomelas (Coenagrionidae), Neurothemis ramburii, Orthetrum pruinosum pruinosum, O. sabina, O. testaceum soembanum (Libellulidae), and Anax gibbosulus (Aeshnidae). A coastal marsh site with slightly brackish water on Flores harbors at least five dragonfly species as follows: Diplacodes trivialis, Neurothemis intermedia excelsa, N. terminata, Pantala flavescens, and Rhyothemis phyllis ixias (Libellulidae). The migratory dragonfly Pantala flavescens was a single species recorded on the waterless Kanawa Island near the western edge of Flores. Our findings suggest that extreme habitats in eastern Indonesia primarily colonized by widespread generalist Odonata species.
