  • Trajectories of the Early-Modern Kingdoms in Eastern Indonesia: Comparative Perspectives
    Trajectories of the early-modern kingdoms in eastern Indonesia: Comparative perspectives Hans Hägerdal Introduction The king grew increasingly powerful. His courage indeed resembled that of a lion. He wisely attracted the hearts of the people. The king was a brave man who was sakti and superior in warfare. In fact King Waturenggong was like the god Vishnu, at times having four arms. The arms held the cakra, the club, si Nandaka, and si Pañcajania. How should this be understood? The keris Ki Lobar and Titinggi were like the club and cakra of the king. Ki Tandalanglang and Ki Bangawan Canggu were like Sangka Pañcajania and the keris si Nandaka; all were the weapons of the god Vishnu which were very successful in defeating ferocious enemies. The permanent force of the king was called Dulang Mangap and were 1,600 strong. Like Kalantaka it was led by Kriyan Patih Ularan who was like Kalamretiu. It was dispatched to crush Dalem Juru [king of Blambangan] since Dalem Juru did not agree to pass over his daughter Ni Bas […] All the lands submitted, no-one was the equal to the king in terms of bravery. They were all ruled by him: Nusa Penida, Sasak, Sumbawa, and especially Bali. Blambangan until Puger had also been subjugated, all was lorded by him. Only Pasuruan and Mataram were not yet [subjugated]. These lands were the enemies (Warna 1986: 78, 84). Thus did a Balinese chronicler recall the deeds of a sixteenth-century ruler who supposedly built up a mini-empire that stretched from East Java to Sumbawa.

  • 4. Old Track, Old Path
    4 Old track, old path ‘His sacred house and the place where he lived,’ wrote Armando Pinto Correa, an administrator of Portuguese Timor, when he visited Suai and met its ruler, ‘had the name Behali to indicate the origin of his family who were the royal house of Uai Hali [Wehali] in Dutch Timor’ (Correa 1934: 45). Through writing and display, the ruler of Suai remembered, declared and celebrated Wehali1 as his origin. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Portuguese increased taxes on the Timorese, which triggered violent conflict with local rulers, including those of Suai. The conflict forced many people from Suai to seek asylum across the border in West Timor. At the end of 1911, it was recorded that more than 2,000 East Timorese, including women and children, were granted asylum by the Dutch authorities and directed to settle around the southern coastal plain of West Timor, in the land of Wehali (La Lau 1912; Ormelling 1957: 184; Francillon 1967: 53). On their arrival in Wehali, displaced people from the village of Suai (and Camenaça) took the action of their ruler further by naming their new settlement in West Timor Suai to remember their place of origin. Suai was once a quiet hamlet in the village of Kletek on the southern coast of West Timor. In 1999, hamlet residents hosted their brothers and sisters from the village of Suai Loro in East Timor, and many have stayed. With a growing population, the hamlet has now become a village with its own chief asserting Suai Loro origin; his descendants were displaced in 1911.

    3 Traditional forms of power tantalizing shreds of evidence It has so far been shown how external forces influenced the course of events on Timor until circa 1640, and how Timor can be situated in a regional and even global context. Before proceeding with an analysis of how Europeans established direct power in the 1640s and 1650s, it will be necessary to take a closer look at the type of society that was found on the island. What were the ‘traditional’ political hierarchies like? How was power executed before the onset of a direct European influence? In spite of all the travel accounts and colonial and mission- ary reports, the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century source material for this region is not rich in ethnographic detail. The aim of the writers was to discuss matters related to the execution of colonial policy and trade, not to provide information about local culture. Occasionally, there are fragments about how the indigenous society functioned, but in order to progress we have to compare these shreds of evidence with later source material. Academically grounded ethnographies only developed in the nineteenth century, but we do possess a certain body of writing from the last 200 years carried out by Western and, later, indigenous observers. Nevertheless, such a comparison must be applied with cau- tion. Society during the last two centuries was not identical to that of the early colonial period, and may have been substantially different in a number of respects. Although Timorese society was low-technology and apparently slow-changing until recently, the changing power rela- tions, the dissemination of firearms, the introduction of new crops, and so on, all had an impact – whether direct or indirect – on the struc- ture of society.

  • Top-Down Historical Phonology of Rote-Meto1
    Journal of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society JSEALS Vol. 11.1 (2018): 63-90 ISSN: 1836-6821, DOI: http://hdl.handle.net/10524/52421 University of Hawaiʼi Press TOP-DOWN HISTORICAL PHONOLOGY OF ROTE-METO1 Owen Edwards Leiden University [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the historical phonology of the Rote-Meto languages through a top-down perspective. It describes the sound changes which have taken place between Proto-Malayo- Polynesian and the present-day languages. This reveals a number of shared innovations between Meto and the languages of west Rote, as well as changes shared by the other languages of Rote. Thus, a West Rote-Meto subgroup is identified, as well as a Nuclear Rote subgroup. Within Austronesian, there are phonological innovations shared between Rote-Meto and a number of languages of Timor and surrounding islands. This provides evidence for a Timor-Wetar-Babar subgroup, though this group does not include all languages of Timor. Keywords: historical phonology, subgrouping, Timor, Austronesian ISO 639-3 codes: bpz, row, dnk, llg, rgu, twu, txq, aaz, aoz, bkx 1 Introduction In this paper, I provide a detailed account of the phonological history of the Rote-Meto languages taking a top- down perspective. I compare pre-existing Proto-Malayo-Polynesian (PMP) reconstructions with their reflexes in the Rote-Meto languages and identify the sound changes that have occurred. This reveals six sound changes which are shared by Dela-Oenale and Dengka in western Rote and Meto on the Timor mainland. 1) merger of *d with a number of instances of *j to Proto-West Rote-Meto **r 2) initial *k > h in a number of forms 3) loss of *k word medially after *a 4) initial *b > f in a dozen forms where other Rote languages retain *b = b 5) *ə > a in final syllables 6) partially unconditioned split of *a > a~e in final open syllables These sound changes provide evidence for a West Rote-Meto subgroup.

  • A Note on Ade
    NOTES HANS HÄGERDAL A note on Ade In a recent issue of Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde, Andrew Mc- William undertakes an interesting study of the elusive traditional Timorese domain of Ade, which is often mentioned in Portuguese and Dutch sources of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. His conclusion is briefly that there is a close affinity with the domain of Vemasse (Oymassin) on the north coast of present Timor Leste. While I agree with his conclusion, I would like to point out a few unpublished Dutch sources which provide more detailed in- formation on Ade and its location. The Dagregister (Daily records) of Kupang for 1665 includes a report by the VOC lieutenant Jacob Pietersz van den Kerper, detailing his sea voy- age to eastern Timor. The trip was made shortly after the announcement of the peace accord between the United Provinces and Portugal (1663), and the aim of the trip was to explore possibilities of commerce and alliances with local domains.1 On 19 May, Van den Kerper arrived at Manatutu on the sloop Amatomanana – named after the Sonba’i regent, one of the VOC’s foremost allies on Timor – and tried to induce the inhabitants to deliver bees- wax, which was one of the major products of the island. Success was slight, although Van den Kerper handed out textiles to the locals. The inhabitants of Manatutu greatly feared that dealings with the Dutch would incur the wrath of the Makassarese of Karaeng Tallo’, and of the Portuguese capitão mor of Lifau, who insisted that the local chiefs were not to undertake anything with- out his permission.

  • Lords of the Land, Lords of the Sea Voorstellen DEF.Indd 1 11-01-12 14:01 LORDS of the LAND, LORDS of the SEA
    Lords of the land, lords sea Lords of the land, lords of the sea 1600-1800 and adaptation in early colonial Timor, Conflict Conflict and adaptation in early colonial Timor, 1600-1800 European traders and soldiers established a foothold on Timor in the course of the seventeenth century, motivated by the quest for the commercially vital sandalwood and the intense competition between the Dutch and the Portuguese. Lords of the land, lords of the sea focuses on two centuries of contacts between the indigenous polities on Timor and the early colonials, and covers the period 1600-1800. In contrast with most previous studies, the book treats Timor as a historical region in its own right, using a wide array of Dutch, Portuguese and other original sources, which are compared with the comprehensive corpus of oral tradition recorded on the island. From this rich material, a lively picture emerges of life and death in early Timorese society, the forms of trade, slavery, warfare, alliances, social life. The investigation demonstrates that the European groups, although having a role as ordering political forces, were only part of the political landscape of Timor. They relied on alliances where the distinction between ally and vassal was moot, and led to frequent conflicts and uprisings. During a slow and complicated process, the often turbulent political conditions involving Europeans, Eurasians, and Hans Hägerdal Timorese polities, paved the way for the later division of Timor into two spheres of roughly equal size. Hans Hägerdal (1960) is a Senior Lecturer in History at the Linnaeus University, Sweden. He has written extensively on East and Southeast Asian history.
