Comment: "Thanks, Ayob. I've retained the English word. I found the 2 Malay terms you suggested in the dictionary too, but the first sounds like "pedestrian" and the second is just too long."

Petatih
Ramona, if I have to, may I coin the word petatih. (DBP, don't come after me).
From the base word 'tatih', meaning to train a toddler to walk. Hence, a tool to help train a person to walk: Petatih.
(Like 'pembaris' is a tool to draw a straight line)
What do you think?

agree with rkaru: petatih
or, perhaps 'pemenatih'.
blessing from dbp notwithstanding, i like your rationale for the coinage, rk. makes perfect sense - a word general enough to cover walkers for toddlers and those walkers used in physiotherapy. -yam-
