Not sure I understand what this is all about, or for, but googling for the common Bah.Indonesia verb "mendapat" 'get, receive' (sometimes 'be able') pulled up some 240,000 cites. Another common verb "berkata" 'say(s)' pulled up 160,000. AFAICT, all in Indonesian except, oddly, #2, a recipe for "Meatloaf a la Berkata" with an Israeli address!!
