Explanation:
merapel (menuruni cenuram atau sisi/lereng gunung dgn tali yg dililit dua kali keliling badan)

- i don't believe there is a corresponding malay term for this, so suggest to either malaysianize the english term or retain word in english with a malay definition/explanation in parentheses added.

- otherwise, suggest using the long malay defition itself.

- english definition: ~~rappelling [br]/rappeling [am] => to lower oneself with a double rope coiled around the body from a mountainside.

typo: - otherwise, suggest using the long malay defition itself.

should be: - otherwise, suggest using the long malay DEFINITION itself.
