as I am ngaju.. I only know.. duhung/dohong, ambang, pisau lantik/ parang bungkul, ladok, keris, mandau..

sadop/sadup is not ngaju but it belongs to Dayak Paser...

I never heard dua matu bayu.. its definitely not ngaju language..

do you have any literature of picture about this "dua matu bayu"?

Sorry I first saw your post now.

As I explained on the seminar dua mata bayu is not from any dayak language but is Indonesian. It roughly means two eyed wind, i.e. a sword that can cut from both sides (being double edged).

PS Gavin, I think all of the mentioned blades can be found if you do a search on this forum. My presentation was VERY heavy in size with all the pictures...

Thank you Michael,

I have reviewed many of your posts recently...I thought there might be some more items not yet seen or discussed.
