A random thing got me thinking about double-edged and two-handed swords today.

Am I correct in thinking that:

1) there are no Filipino double-edged, two-handed swords?

2) only...

The internet is telling me that Tahitian lime is the same thing as Persian lime (perhaps the most commonly sold lime in the us). I am skeptical of this.
