Note 106 — Chapter V · Magic Rites connected with the Several Departments of Nature (continued 2)
Reading edition
Probably a pun upon teng, which was explained to me as meaning kaki sa-b’lah (“one foot only”), as in bĕrteng-teng, “to go on one foot,” to hobble; tengkis, “with one foot shortened or shrunken,” etc. The “satengteng flower” was explained as another name for the satawar. ↑
