Anytime a language is translated outside of it's original alphabet these spelling variation are bound to happen as the English aphabet struggles to find the right letters for the proper sounds.

Let's hope, it's still the Roman alphabet since else we're in trouble, phonetically speaking - u no...
I know the former Dutch-based spelling which was changed after the independance. I thought that alongside with the Bahasa Indonesia there came a standard spelling system. However, I reckon this will deviate from the local dialects' pronounciations. Is this the case here?

I have found this Djogya hilt form to be generally smaller than it's Solo counterpart, so i don't believe this is due to it being made for a smaller hand size, just the style.

Has anybody gathered data on hilt lengths for Keris Jawa? Any estimates in case of missing data? I'd like to get a feeling for the usual size ranges for the respective styles if possible...
