panophobia - according to Scripps-Howard = generalized fear.
panornithic - no definition, no site using it found. I think it is for the birds, all of them.
panpipe - cliché in illustrations, showing Greek minor god Pan playing a wind instrument cosisting of
six or eight whistles of varying length tied togetther side by side. I can remember it being a big deal when
I was a kid, early the spring making whistles from maple sucker which for a short time have bark easy
to slip off intact, so that wood could be removed to made a cavity when bark was replaced. I’ll bet
that very few kids today know how to do it. Or want to.
Pansil - A Buddhist ritual:
“
In the Theravada tradition, it is customary to pay homage to the Buddha, recite the Three Refuges and undertake to observe the Pancca Sila (Pansil) on visiting a place of worship or at the start of a Buddhist ceremony. One can recite the following stanzas by oneself or invite a Buddhist monk to administer them.
The monk will recite each stanza in pali and the devotee should repeat it after him

On panpipes
I heard a recording. Fascinating. Mesmerizing -for the moment- and never to be returned to.
In other words:
Lovely and finally not worth the return. Kind of like those beings who beat away fitfully at the marimba.

I know what you mean. I heard a recording of someone playing a violin once. Felt exactly the same way.

Not worth the return:
Well, there's violinists and violiists, so I suppose there may be panpipers and panpiers. The panpipes must have a use, but I just don't sit down to listen every day to panpipes, though I do to violinists. Maybe I need to find the right piper, you suppose? Seem to have violinists in abundance.

Dear Faldage: I have spent many wonderful hours listening to Fritz Kreisler, Yehudi Menuhin,Isaac Stern, and Itzhak Perlman. I may have misspelled names. How I wish I didn't have this cruel nerve deafness that makes all music sound out of tune. I pity you if you are serious about being unable to enjoy violin music.

Kebangsaan -- nationalism

Keadilan sosial -- social justice
Ketuhanan -- belief in God
Kerakyatan -- supremacy of the people

"Pancasila or the five (panca) principles (sila)..."
'Panch' (pronounced as 'punch') is Sanskrit for 'five', and is often used as a prefix for groups of five. eg. 'panchtatv,' the 'tatv' meaning 'element,' the five elements being fire, water, earth, sky and wind.
