Anyway, Indonesian has a lot of Dutch loanwords, and so does Javanese. In case of "kelar" it also exists in Indonesian. However, these two languages sometimes borrow differently.

E.g. "pit" (bicycles) from Dutch "fiets" is commonly "sepeda" (from French "velocipede") in Indonesian ("kereta angin" is less common).

"Sepur" (train) in Javanese from Dutch "spoor" (railway tracks) is "kereta api" in Indonesian. "Sepur" in Indonesian retains the original meaning of railway tracks.
