EN: Greatness, solemnity, renown
This is a very formal, almost poetic word. It's the vibe of a national hero's monument, a very formal state event, or receiving a lifetime achievement award. It's the opposite of being 'jologs' or 'baduy'. Think 'grandeur' but for reputation or atmosphere.
From `ka-` + `bunyi` (fame, honor) + `-an`, creating an abstract noun for the state of being renowned or honored.
Primarily used in formal, literary, or historical contexts.
