Tickles me no end that the Malay phrase for “teacher’s record book” is “buku rekod guru”.
Thats how we do it Telugu too; mix words derived from Sanskrit and English to form new words for contemporary times. guruvu gāri rikārd pustakam is how many would translate it.
(Not me. Would translate it as upādhāyuni yādastu pustakam. Need them words derived from Persian too, as the incomparable CP Brown would probably say)
