The only one that I can remember is wai, meaning "water"

Wai is not a common word in Indonesian. It means river and is mainly used in placenames. The usual word for water confusingly enough is air , pronounced more or less ay-er. The situation may be different in Melayu (Malay) but I'm not sure. Given the vast gulfs between different varieties of English we've been falling into, anything is possible.
