Thanks for searching Sajen! Too bad there is only so little regarding this...
My friend seemed to imply that Gobangs were often used in fights, probably because of their longer length compared to smaller goloks and parangs... maybe the Gobang was a common term for swords? Or maybe a type of sword whose name eventually became applied to various long blades?
