Several songbooks I have substitute the word kesengerdang for mesengkedang in the 2nd verse of the song "Tal Becheleu el Bung": Bai derengul a kmong techa el mengedecheduch re ngii / e ngak ma renguk a di mengimut el uoi mesengkedang. Yoichi Rengiil tells me that kesengerdang is from kesengurd (v.s. = very skinny), and so the substitution is just a matter of degree (getting thin vs. getting very skinny). Kesengerdang would be v.s.inch.
