Sembah
''Sembah'' is a Indonesian greeting and gesture as a way of demonstrating respect and reverence. While performing the sembah, the person clasped their palms together solemnly in a prayer-like fashion called ''suhun'' or ''susuhun'' in Javanese; or ''menyusun jari sepuluh'' ("to arrange the ten fingers") in Indonesian, and placed them in front of the chest, and moving the combined palms up to the chin, or all the way up until the thumbs touching the tip of the nose, while bowing slightly. ''Sembah'' is endemic and prevalent in Indonesian regional cultures that shares dharmic heritage — such as Balinese, Javanese, and Sundanese, as the testament of Indonesian Hindu-Buddhist past. It is cognate to the Cambodian ''sampeah'' and Thai ''wai''. All of these greetings are based on the Indian ''Añjali Mudrā'' used in ''namasté''. ==Etymology== In Indonesian language, the term ''sembah'' means to pay the honour, obeisance, homage or to worship.〔 It also the synonym with the Javanese word ''suhun''. According to Hamka in his book ''Dari Perbendaharaan Lama'' the word derived from a Javanese word for position (''susunan'') of hands in reverential salutation, done with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, and bowing. This arrangement which has some similarities with Indian ''namaste'' is called "''sembah''", which is used to honor and praise. Thus "susuhunan" can refer to someone to give the "susunan" or "sembah" to, or a revered person. Another word for "''susuhunan''" is "''sesembahan''".〔HAMKA, Prof. Dr., ''Dari Perbendaharaan Lama'', Page 244, Cet. II, Pustaka Panjimas, Jakarta, 1982〕 The term ''sembah'' however, curiously sounds similar and cognate to Cambodian ''sampeah'', which suggests their common origin or shared connections. The word ''sembahyang'' in Indonesian which is today synonym with Islamic ''shalat'' ritual, means prayer or worship. Actually it is originated from two combined words ''sembah-hyang'' which means "worship the ''hyang''" (deity or holy spirits).
