### Etymology

From "sabatu" (a stone) and Arabic لِسَان (lisān) meaning "tongue", becoming "sabatu lisan", sabatu became satu (one) then it became satu lisan, which further became "tulisan" meaning written thing and "lisan" meaning spoken thing or utterance. And from "tulisan" the word "tulis" was created as the verb to write. (Can this etymology be sourced?)
