ABSTRACT

Etnis Karo termasuk kedalam ras Proto Melayu bercampur dengan Negrito. Eksistensi Karo diperkirakan mencuat sejak tahun 1250, karena waktu telah berdiri kerajaan bernama kerjaan Haru (Aru) yang menurut sebagian orang dikuasai oleh Karo. Kerajaan ini cukup kuat dan wilayahnya sangat luas, mulai dari Siak (Riau) sampai ke sungai Wampu di Langkat. Namun sekitar tahun 1539 kerajaan Haru kalah dan hancur total akibat serangan tentara kerjaan Samudera Pasai dari Aceh yang memiliki persenjataan cukup kuat. Hal tersebut menyebabkan rakyatnya pergi menyelamatkan diri dari wilayah kerjaan Haru keseluruh penjuru tempat yang dianggap aman. Rakyat yang pergi menyelamatkan diri itu ada yang sampai ke Singkel, Dairi, Aceh, Asahan, Simalungun dan dataran tanah tinggi Karo (Karo Gunung) dan sebagain lagi ke dataran rendah dekat pegunungan perbatasan Sipis-pis dan Tebing Tinggi sekarang. Mereka yang pergi dan menempati tempat yang baru diluar Asahan kemudian disebut orang Karo yang sebenarnya adalah rakyat sisa perang Haru. Suku Karo yang tinggal di dataran rendah dekat pegunungan disebut Karo Dusun sedangkan skarang ini etnis Karo lebih banyak mendiami daerah dataran tinggi yang dikenal dengan Tanah Karo seperti : Berastagi, Kabanjahe, Lingga, Tongging dan lain-lain.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Bacground of Study

The Karo people or Karonese are the indigenous people of the Karo

plateau in North Sumatera, Indonesia. They linguistically to the Batak people but

often consider themselves as separate. They speak the Batak Karo language. There

are six Bataks in North Sumatera : Batak Karo, Batak Toba, Batak Mandailing,

Batak Simalungun, Batak Angkola and Batak Pak-Pak.

As a Karonese, the writer interst to analyze about Batak Karo, There are som

many interesting cultures in Karonese. For example : the traditional dance,

wedding ceremony, ancient calendar, funeral ceremony etc. and in this paper the

writer will explain about “The Historical in Karonese Surname”. It is very

important to know, especially for Karo people.

Every ethnic group have a clan (marga). We should studying and knowing

the relation each other. Such as in Karonese, there are five clans in Karones :

Ginting, Tarigan, Perangin-angin, Sembiring, and Karo-karo. Each one of the five

clans have separate history. People from the same caln are not allowed to marry.

Their relation system is patrilinial. Karonese have ethical and regfulations that are

made by their culture. Karonese have a chacteristic ini their culture. It is an

avoidance relationship (Rebu) that is considered as taboo concept. There are three

kinds of avoidance relationship in Karones : avoidance relationship between

mother in law and son in law, between father in law and daughter in law and the

(12)

same taboo concept, there are : speak directly without mediator, have contact with

part of the body, sit face to face etc. the function of the avoidance realtionship is

to avoid the negative effects (free sex). But nowadays the use of avoidance

relationship has change. It is influenced by education, the different culture,

environmental etc. because of that, the use of avoidance relationship in Karonase

relationship express the values of culture and view of socio cultural life supporter

societry, especially in Karonese. So that, it is importan to mine deeply and

accurate.

1.2 Scope of Study

Talking about Karonese, thre is a lot of things to be discussed. Karonese

have many culture, for example: the traditional parties, traditional dance, ancient

calendar, funeral ceremony etc. but in this paper, I would like to limit the

discussing only about clans in Karonese.

1.3 Purpose of Study

There are some purposes to be obtained such as the following:

1. As the student, the writers aim is to fill up one of the requirements to get the

Diploma III of English Study Program, Faculty of Letters, Universitiy of

North Sumatera.

2. To know the historical in Karonese surname.

3. To know the reation of a clan and other.

4. To know the meaning of Rebu (avoidance relationship in Karonese

(13)

1.4 Significance of Writing

This paper discuesses about the historical in Karonese surname. Karonese

is rich in culture. So that, by read this paper:

1. The readers will get many information about Karonese culture.

2. The readers will know the historical in Karonese surname.

3. The readers will know the history of Karonese.

4. The readers will know the meaning of Rebu (avoidance relationship) in

Karonese relationship.

In addition, the writer belives that this writing will enrich information to

those who wish to learn and known more about Karonese, especially for Karo

People.

1.5 Method of Study

Method of writing is another very important thing ind determin ing

whether it will be success or not. To be able to get valid data, the writer needs to

be very careful about method of collecting data. In this case, the writer uses two

methods: library research and internet research.

In library research, she goes to some libraries to finds out several books

and some materials which are relevant with the topic and very closely related with

Karonese culture. And she also does research by browing and searching the

(14)

CHAPTER 2 THE GENERAL DESCRIPTION ABOUT KARONESE

The Karo people are the indigenous people of Karo plateau in North

Sumatera, Indonesia. They belong linguistically to the Batak people but often

consider themselves as separate. They speak the Karo language to communication

in their daily life. So that the Karonese is the native speaker of the Karo language.

On the whole most of the Karonese lived out of Karo regency. Wherever they live

the Karonese always used Karo Language to communication between the

Karones. Their loyalty to use Karo Language is very strong. The Karonese which

domiciled in Karo regency, Deli Serdang and Langkat are farmer. They planted

palm, rubber and crops planeted. Although they live at the ede of seashore, no one

of them as a fishermen. Besides, several of them work as PNS, ABRI and trader.

Generally, the Karonese which domiciled in Karo regency farm and

planted the wet rice and dry rice, fruits and vegetabeles. Because of the nature

condition i.e the fertile soil, cold weather and enaough rainfall. But the Karones

which live in Deli Serdang regency and Langkat generally are farmer of rubber

and palm, altohough several of them palnted crops planted.

If we saw from democracy side or “mutual cooperation” so we could

found the Karonese which lived in Karo regency higher than they live in Deli

Serdang regency and Langkat. As a evidence we can see from the working group

which called “Aron”. Aroun has member 10 until 25 persons. The Aron member

did not differentiate gender. Their work system is alternate system. It means, the

(15)

hours for one periond (start at 08.00 a.m until 12.00 a.m). During the day, they

have two stages work time, i.e four hours at the morning and four hours at the

afternoon (13.00 p.m until 17.00 p.m). If ‘A’ field was finished during one stage

so the other stage moved worked to other member field. It is usually saw from the

condition and situation of the working group members. The leader and the

member of the group will know the necessity very members. The work place

removal every stage would arranged by the leader. But if we went to Deli Serdang

regency and Langkat regency, wer would not found ‘Aron’ again.

Karo people tarditionally lived in shared longhouses called Siwaluh Jabu,

but very few now remain and new construction is exclusively of modern designs.

This is (Siwaluh Jabu) occupied by one big family that consist of eighat families.

In the room there is no partion. It looks like a hall. The room is distributed to each

family based on their custom lines. To keep their avoidance relationship (Rebu).

2.1 The Religion

Firstly, the Karonese professes animist and dynamism. They worship the

spirits (Begu) which found in sacred places such as : in the mount, big stone, big

trees, river etc. they give tribute and offering of flowers of food and together with

magic formula to ask something so the spirits wll give their bless for human.

Karonese confidence is that their nature is headed by Guru Batar (Dibata Idatas)

who authorizes the sky, Padukah Niaji (Dibata Tengah) who authorizes the earth,

and Banuakoling (Dibata Taruh) who authorizes underneath earth, but nowadays,

(16)

which domiciled in Deli Serdagn regency and Langkat are Muslim, but in Karo

regency most of them are Christian.

2.2 The Karonese Surname

Karo people have social system or tradition which we know as surname i.e

merga silima, tutur siwaluh, and rakut sitelu. Karonese have caln system or in

Karo people called ‘Merga’ for a man and called ‘Beru’ for a woman, usually a

Merga or Beru used after a name. there are five clans in Karo people, there are :

1. Ginting

2. Tarigan

3. Perangin-angin

4. Sembiring

5. Karo-karo

The Karonese could not got married with people have same clan. For

example: Azis Ginting dit not married with a woman ‘Beru’ Ginting. So he could

chose another woman which have different surname (clan).

To know more about Karones, we should know the Karonese surname

which called ‘Merga’. In Karo language ‘Merga’ means Meherga (expensive).

Merga always inherit from a father to his child. Every Karonese has least five

words, for example :Boy Sembiring Milala Bere-Bere Peragnin-angin Bangum.

Boy is his name, Sembiring is clan, Milala sub clan of Sembiring. Perangin-angin

is clan and Bangun is sub clan of Perangin-angin. Sembiring Milala inherit by

(26)

3.1 Avoidance Ralationship (Rebu) in Karonese Ralationship

There are avoidance relationship in Karonese called Rebu (Taboo). So this

words contained a negative meaning that is a prohibition for someone to do

something. The people who again this prohibition is a people did not know the

tradition, and did not obey the prevail tradition. This people would be made fun of

the people. It is happen between Mami (mother in law) and Kela (son in law),

between Bengkila (father in law) and Permain (daughter in law) and the

relationship between parents in law (Turangku). There are some kinds of Rebu :

Rebu speak directly without mediator.

According to the prevail tradition in Karonese, it is Rebu if Mami talk to her son

in law (Kela) and on the cotrary. Is is taboo if mami and Kela in converstaion

without a mediator or third person. Through third person they can inform their

message, question and answer. There are two ways speak directly with mediator

i.e : first, son in law use words nina mami (means mother in law said) and mother

in law use nina Kela in every sentences or words they want to say. With this way

is seems as if the communication not a direct communication. The expression of

Kela feels as his Mami expression and on the contrary. The second, use the things

around of them as a mediator in their conversation. In this thing every sentences

should follow with words nindu.

For example : mau kemana Kela nindu o batu?

Mau ke sawah Mami, nindu o batu.

In this case, they feels that the communication in not direct communication,

(27)

the third person. And it is very strange and funny for the people who do not know

the Karonese custom.

a. Rebu Touch Part of The Body.

The second Rebu is Rebu touch part of the body. It is called Mereha, means very

disgraceful and contemptible thing. If it is happened, people would be made fun

by the people and become topic of conversation. There is a exception if they say

Sentabi, it means excuse me or sorry. For example : if Mami or Kela had an

accident or sick.

b. Rebu Sit Face to Face

The third Rebu is sit face to face. If Kela know the customs, he would bowed his

head and look down if he talked or met his mother in law. And he would not go to

the house if the know that his mother in law alone in the house.

c. Rebu Sit on The Mat Without Someone Sitting Between Them.

It is taboo if mother in law and son in law or daughter in law and father in law sit

on the Mat without someone sitting between them. It is important to know that a

Mat is a special place to sit which usually used by Karonese in their daily life, in a

party of in traditional ceremony. In Karonese a Mat called Amak. There are some

kinds of Amak. For example : Amak cur, is is smooth and usually used for certain

person. Amak Belang is a large Mat and used for sit place commoner. So that, it is

taboo is Mami and Kela or Bengkila and Permain sit on a Mat, except there are

(28)

3.2 The Relationship of Karonese.

(32)

CHAPTER 4 CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

4.1 Conclusions

from the main part of the discussion and the description of the relevant

aspects, the writer takes the following conclusions :

1. There are five clans (merga) in Karonese i.e.: Ginting, Tarigan,

Perangin-angin, Sembiring and Karo-karo.

2. A clan have sub clan each other. Usually appropriate with the origainal

village.

3. If a man and woman have a same clan they are called Erturang and can not

get married. But if they comes from different clan, they called Impal and

can get married.

4. A clan passed on from a generation to the other or from father to his child

(Patrilineal). A daughter can not bequeath her clan to her child.

5. There is a avoidance relationship in Karonese, called Rebu. There are three

kinds of Rebu : Rebu between Mami (mother in law) and Kela (son in

law), Between Bengkila (father in law) and Permain (daughter in law) and

Rebu between Turangku.

6. There are some things include Rebu : speak directly without a mediator or

third person, touch part of the body, sit face to face on the Mat without

someone sitting between them, etc.

(33)

4.2 Suggestions

1. Every Karonese people, especially the young generation should know their

historical surname (clan) and relation with other clan. It aims to avoid

incestuous relationship.

2. As a Karonese, we should be proud with our custom.

3. Preserve our culture value, especially the avoidance relationship (Rebu),

because it is unique and rare things.

4. Don’t be ashamful as a Karonese, to use your clan after your name.

5. The readers who are interested in Karonese custom can do further research
