... we find in Crawfurd's Malay Dict. "Jampana... a kind of litter"... It may have been originally in India, as it is now in the Straits, a closed litter for ladies of rank, and the word may have become appropriated to the open conveyance in which European ladies are carried.
Use jampan when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
