Meanings
-
A contest, in a cockpit, between gamecocks fitted with cockspurs
This was a very hard problem; and the Rajah thought and thought, as hard as a Malay Rajah can be expected to think, but could not solve it; and so he was very unhappy, and did nothing but smoke and chew betel with his favourite wife, and eat scarcely anything; and even when he went to the cock-fight did not seem to care whether his best birds won or lost.
1869, Alfred Russel Wallace, The Malay Archipelago, volume I, London: Macmillan and Co., page 278:
