"Gayung" Quest

oklah, since my friend mrBadak was wondering what is "gayung" in English, i, so high in the spirit of "what are friends for?" decided to look it up specially for him.

first stop, Dictionary Online from cari.com.my.



ok... so i tried Karyanet



ooo... ok

but suddenly i noticed, the first time i went to Dictionary Online, i forgot to change the ENGLISH -> Malay - Chinese to MALAY -> English - Chinese so, i changed it and search again... but i think there's something wrong with the result. look...





not satisfied with the previous result, i googled for a Malay-English online dictionary and then i got this



just to make sure, i tried another one and got this



but then again, since this last one also has a meaning for indonesian, it really gets me thinking, if "gayung" also means "attack", how would they translate "Star Wars : Attack of the Clones" ???
