Tikal
I'm having a hard time finding information about "tikal" - as in These sails were not made of cloth but of a matting material called "tikal" that is also used for floor matting and other purposes.

The word tikal translated in English to weighed. Is it possible that this word in misspelled?-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 18:00, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Topan
Same question about topan, which translates from Malay to English as cyclone. Is there a definition for this term?-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 18:19, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
