Good thing you wrote it down! I know I would have to... Very thankful for the information you have up on DRI. Where did you get all the Thai terminology from? I know I was surprised to see kind of specific.
Like:
daab dang (dheng): (Thai) a daab used one-handed with a large, rectangular shield ("dang/dheng").
daab khen: (Thai) a daab used one-handed with a buckler ("khen").
daab lo: (Thai) daab used with a sheild.
I wonder how the swords might differ then? Depending on the type of shield used? I imagine this could make sense different sword and shield paired ideally for certain benefits/ conditions/ different branch/ type of soldier unit...it would be great to have pictures/ further information to identify what each would look like and why!
