Mosut / Losen

Mosut or Losen (pronounce as Mo-sut or Lo-sen) - is a verb for the action to whip or to can using a stick. The picture below describe someone "mosut kuda" or whipping a horse.

The word "Mosut" probably the original words of the Bidayuh Bijagoi while the word "Losen" is originated from the "Malay" Sarawak. The word "Mosut" can be applied to human being or animals as shown in the picture while "Losen" apply to human only.

We hear the word these words frequently being used in our daily life for those who have children at home. As they are being naughty in daily life their parents often trying to discipline them with the threat to whip or to can them.
