Yes David, precisely, and this is exactly the problem that can throw a non-native speaker. I have several languages in varying degrees of competence, and I've been tripped up more than once by relying on dictionaries.
As to origin, I have refrained from giving an opinion because I'd like to see more people participating in discussion. In fact, the blade and mendak are pretty obvious, the wrongko and jejeran are subject to relatively strong speculation.
