Manufacturing / ingredient in kreteks
Indonesian term or phrase: jinggo
In the phrase "bahan baku rokok kretek yaitu tembakau, klobot (daun jagung) dan jinggo/ benang" am I correct in assuming that 'jinggo' is 'cengkeh' or 'jus cengkeh'? If not, what is the meaning in the context of ingredients in handmade kreteks?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Of course! I was focusing on cloves and overlooked the obvious. BTW, when Nitisemito first 'branded' his kreteks, he called them 'Djeruk'. It proves that it take two pairs of eyes to see! Thank you so much.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Mark Oliver: Yes, "jingga" in Javanese refers to a color ranging from orange to red, as well as to the dying materials used to produce the color -- "sembagi rupane abang," in Poerwadarminta's dictionary.
