exclamation
I know that 'edas' is an exclamation, like 'aduh', 'astaga' etc and can sometimes be translated as 'wow', 'o-o-oh'. What would be an appropriate translation in the following context, used first as a question and then as an exclamation.
"Ahai, betapa manis geulis Mariah, bintang Sokaraja, bidadari Banyumas. Edas? Edas!"
"Ahai, betapa manis geulis Mariah, bintang Sokaraja, bidadari Banyumas. Edas? Edas!"

Just guessing, I am myself not sure about this one. Other possible option may be "amazing". Edas can be coming from "edan" alias "gila" in a positive meaning in this case.
