Eric,
My experience is based on North Indian languages and culture, but I guess, the Arab traders and settlers, especially in South India, would have used the word 'Jambiya'. Do you have a title and author for the encyclopedia?
Thanks for the link for the Hermann Historica books, I didn't realize they were still available. I have the 1984 and 1986 with the Tiger tooth and Pesh Kabz on it, does anybody know if the others are worth buying?
Regards
Runjeet
