Ba'at

Ba'at (pronounce as Ba-at) is a noun for border or boundary that separated of an area (geographic boundary of farm land, villages, or countries). The word slowly phased out due to the malay word "Batas" influence or "Border" english.

Border between one farm land to another usually designated by signficant trees such as bamboos, durian tree, rivers, or anything distinct significant landmarks.

Example: 

Ba'at Kupuo' = Village's border
