Peilaan

Peilaan is a noun found in Malay-language sources, referring to the act or result of estimating, valuing, or assessing something. The term is chiefly attested in historical or regional usage; in modern standard Malay and Indonesian, penilaian or anggaran are more common for the same idea.

Etymology: Peilaan is generally regarded as deriving from the concept of nilai or menilai (to assess), with affixes that form a noun indicating an act or result. It is often treated as a variant form of penilaian, and may be encountered in dialectal or older texts.

Usage: In everyday language peilaan is less common. It appears in phrases such as peilaan harga (price estimation) or peilaan risiko (risk assessment). In business and administrative contexts, penilaian is normally used; peilaan may show up in archival documents or regional writing.
