Jong jong Inai (by anonymous)

"ibu kaki" does mean the big toe.

"raja wali" is a bird. but in Malaysia, it's the kingfisher bird.

"jong jong inai"- doesn't that refers to the word "hujong" (hujung) where normally people "inai" their fingers?

"mak ipong" can mean the mother of Ipong or the name of the lady herself. Ipong, to my knowledge, is a Javanese name.

and "wali-wali" (the pious ones)didn't come to Malaysia but to Indonesia.

-mak ipong the eagle?
-ipongs mother the king of pious people?
-mak ipong the kingfisher???

i seriously do not know!!

probably a song of traders back then.
