Detlef, thanks for the link.
What I am seeing is that Dao is generic chinese for sword, while Dah (or Dha) is more specific for Burmese swords. However Dah usually refers to one sort of Burmese sword: http://www.oriental-arms.co.il/item.php?id=5864 Marcus P.S. Who's Kurt? |

Hi Marcus,
Dah is the correct term used by many living with and studying the Kachin tribes from the 19th century onwards, it is well referenced. Either names used with the pictures in context would suffice though. I prefer the name Dao when used but it is regionally incorrect. Regards Gavin |
