Hi Glot

The 'buta' link I had provided says ...

"An evil demon in Indonesian mythology. A demon with hooked teeth is called Buta Cakil."

The statement is separated by two sentences. The word 'buta' is defined as an evil demon, whereas Buta Cakil maybe a proper noun consisting of two words. It's like saying ... 'ghost' and 'holy ghost'

If you are saying that 'buta' is a proper noun, then I would say 'buga' is also a proper noun by this statement from the link ...

"Buga created the first two people out of iron, fire water, and earth. Out of the earth he fashioned the flesh and bones, out of the iron the heart, out of the water blood, and out of the fire warmth."

and

"Buga is the supreme god (akin to Tengri) and represents the entire universe. "Buga" also means universe. Buga Sangarin is the name Tungus shamans give to the North Star, which is regarded as the gateway to heaven."

Tell me if I am wrong, and I will provide a replacement word.

Cheers
