Indonesian: supposed to be a borrowing from the Minangkabau word with the same meaning. I haven't heard this in Indonesian except in heavily code-mixed (Indonesian–Minangkabau) speech and couldn't find Indonesian examples in written texts. Pinging @Octahedron80 who created the entry.

- I don't remember where I got this. But I already added that it borrowed from Minangkabau at the first place. There are many Indonesian words refer to cockroach. If lipeh seems not to be Indonesian, please remove; I am not a pro of this language. I will remove at thwikt too.--Octahedron80 (talk) 02:36, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Octahedron80: Great, thanks for the quick feedback. Well, it's one of those words which often are borrowed ad hoc when bilinguals are speaking Indonesian, but occasionally are more familiar with the regional language term and resort to code-mixing, which usually happens with words for plants and animals, household tools, certain body parts and emotional states. But that doesn't make them part of the common Indonesian vocabulary; they can be only considered actual loans if adopted by monolinguals, or bilinguals speaking a different regional language. This mostly happens with Betawi and Javanese vocabulary, but only rarely with Minang words; lipeh isn't one of them. Pinging also @Xbypass for confirmation. –Austronesier (talk) 16:52, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
