I might also suggest that while it is nice to know keris terms, in most cases i personally prefer to use English words where possible. So i am much more likely to use words like hilt, sheath and blade as opposed to jejeran, wrongko or wilah when writing/speaking about parts of the keris. Some features such of the gonjo don't have good English counterparts that can be use to communicate what we might be referring to so it is good to know these terms.
