• pangeran: prince Language and Sacred Connections Wikipedia's entry on Mount Merapi acknowledges a north-south axis being sacred and relating to the Southern Ocean: "It is believed that when the gods had just created the Earth, Java was unbalanced because of the placement of Mount Jamurdipo on the west end of the island. 6 Javanese ships were mainly constructed in two major shipbuilding centres around Java - north coastal central Java and the south coast of Borneo and the adjacent islands.
