This is a quotation from a Moro weapon identification plaque on e-bay ( I am NOT referring specifically to a particular e-bay item because of the general Forum policy):
Weapons included are:

Capa-capa ax
Patul ax
Two (2) Sankul spears
Three (3) Taming spears in a hand painted Karasak carrier
Six (6) Agong arrows
Gunong
Kalis
Barong
Kampilan
Gayang
Laring
Banjal
Pinsainali
Janap
Susuwat
Sangot
Punal
Kris
Kamrilan
Janaz
[/COLOR]

Pira
Utak
Panabas
Bankow
Zahot
Binakoko
Pamarilan
Kangbantuli
Bangkon
Lahot
Karasak
Agong
Taming
Balasiong
I have heard of some and seen some in different collections, but most ( in red) are a complete mystery to me.
Can Moro collectors, please explain what these mean and, perhaps, provide examples.
Thanks.
