I apologise for any drivel.
Hope it helps.. and encourages other people to expand, clarify, refute....

Drivel? Hardly! This is facinating material.
Thanks to all who responded. You have cracked open a window of culture and history that I was previously unaware of.
Scholar Pangeran Datu, I find your statement about empus risking wrath of 'Maung Kajajaden' of great interest. I can find neither any english web pages, nor free on-line translators. Might you (or anyone) expand on this subject a bit.
