Abstract

In the previous chapters it has been shown that the majority of the Old Javanese instruments on the temple reliefs were identifiable, and that a fairly large number of names of instruments and orchestras could be placed in their correct context. This was done by means of comparison, in part with Sanskrit names and with Indian and Indochinese instruments, and in part with names existing in the Archipelago. This proved impossible with regard to a number of words, and these are listed here in alphabetical order, with their references in literature.
