G'Day Gav,

My understanding is that "Feranghi, Ferangi, Feranji" basically means "Foreign."

This may be why you have definition problems. You are looking for a specific characteristic and the only characteristic is that some part, usually the blade, is foreign to the specific culture.

As in an European blade on a tulwar mount. This would be Ferangi in India to use an India term.

I am open to other interpretations as mine, here, is from memory. I don't have specific references and don't have time right now to search.

BTW, nice scooter in your 4th picture. "Scooter" in an "in" term amongst Harley riders in the USA.
