As Pangeran Datu points out, the word cunderik can have a number of meanings.
It is a dapur for a Javanese keris, it is the name of a stabbing weapon found in Lombok, it has been given by some people to a small talismanic weapon.
In Solo it seems to be applied to just about any short dagger that another name cannot be found for.In modern Javanese it means " a short dagger".
Personally, I think the word "cunderik" is a good word to stay away from, if possible.
This little keris is a keris patrem.
