Summary "Uit Oost en West: verklaring van eenige uitheemsche woorden" by Pieter Johannes Veth is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a lexical analysis of foreign words that have entered the Dutch language, particularly those derived from various Asian languages as influenced by colonial trade and cultural exchange. It delves into the complexities of etymology and the integration of words into the Dutch lexicon, specifically focusing on contributions from Indonesian languages. The opening of the text provides insight into Veth's motivation and approach to compiling this glossary. He reflects on his academic journey and his observations regarding the influx of foreign terms into Dutch, particularly from the East Indies. Veth discusses the need for clarity in language, as many words were either incorrectly interpreted or poorly defined in existing dictionaries. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the origins of words derived from languages such as Malay and Arabic, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of specific terms and their histories in subsequent sections of the work.
