Seems like a pretty generic term . A sundang from Panay , Negros ? |

I certainly wouldn't argue that this blade might be referred to as a sundang in some places, but sundang, it would seem, is a rather general term for a sword and refers also to the kris as well as other sword length blades of the region. Surely there is a more specific name for this type of weapon. Why are you so vigorously opposed to the term "tenegre" which Ian and i believe Zel are apt to use? It seems to me that to call this blade a sundang will only add to the confusion. |
