English term or phrase: Black eyed pea
Hi, what do we call black eyed pea in bahasa Melayu? There's no suggestions listed in PRPM. However, upon searching on Google, they offered me kacang tunggak, which is in Indonesian.

kacang kambing
Explanation:

- There is no BM for this cultivar of kacang panjang. So any translation will be a new coinage.

- My suggestion is based on the direct translation of goat pea, the other English name for this legume.

- Seeing that we already have the name kacang kuda (chickpea) in BM, I feel this would not be such a stretch.

Or alternatively, you can also translate it to kacang bermata hitam. :-)
