Etymology of Indonesian balok
Are you sure about this? It is also found in other languages as such Sundanese, so we cannot really be sure into which language the Dutch word was first borrowed. The epenthetic o in the final syllable makes me think it might have first been in use in one of the Low ('Bazaar') Malay varieties in the Dutch East Indies. –Austronesier (talk) 20:07, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
