Hi Peter

The Sasak system does sound very interesting. I’d be very glad to see your draft paper if you would send it to me.

Cheers
Bill

Dear colleagues

I have worked on the deictic system of Sasak, spoken on Lombok island, east of Bali, which also has a prominent volcano like Bali island.

Sasak has 4 systems for cardinal directional terms, involving 180 degree flip of 'towards the mountains' and 'towards the sea' like in Balinese, but also rotation of timuq 'east' and baret 'west' through 90 degrees in two of the systems. Therefore, geographic north can be any of lauq, daye, baret or timuq depending on where on Lombok one is located.

If you are interested I can share a draft discussion paper with you. Best wishes,

Peter

Hi Mike

Alice beat me to it with those refs. The 1998 Wassmann & Dasen paper contains a detailed account including mapping of directional axes at the eastern tip of Bali, which does cause various reocnfigurations of the system you described.

Best

In South Bali, north and south are kaja and kelod respectively; on the north (Denpasar for example) of the island (Singaraja for example) it is the opposite; east and west however are the same (sunrise and sunset don't change directions based on whether one is on the north or south of the central peak(s).
I have never spent enough time in the eats or west ends of the island to know what their system is (since applying the standard Balinese system would make, for example, Kaja (mountainward) ALSO the direction of sunset.
