Malay Magic by Walter William Skeat

In playing chabut or "casting out," the tens should be thrown away (di-buang daun puloh). When two players have the same number of pips--e.g. nine and nine or eight and eight--the coincidence is described in the words, Jumpa di jalan, di-adu, kalah, di-chabut, mati. To be "bluffed" is called kena ranjau (wounded by a caltrop). And again, when a player has obtained, let us say, twenty-six pips with six cards, and so has only one more chance, and is afraid to risk it, his position is ridiculed in the phrase, Sa-nepak Ulu Klang, a jest of obviously local coinage. The phrase Tengah tiang (half mast), again, is applied to twenty-five pips held irrespective of the number of cards; and if more than thirty-one are obtained, the player is said to be out (mati, or masok piring).
