I read the German part wich is the original statement of dr. Groneman.
The German part is identical to the translated part in Dutch. I speak, write and understand the German language very well.

In my opinion we have not a maybe but a definitive no. Dr. Groneman did not intend the word "gana" to be applied to root-form hilts in this part of his statement.

But....... the citate of J.G. Huyse is refering to something that has the look of leloehoer-statues called gana-gana where gana is refering to the representing of the human shape. But the citate doesn't mention a hilt from treeroot.
