I don't see the point why a certain pattern (or some diversity) needs to be present to meet any qualifying criteria.

Hello Kai,
I guess we could call the twist core kris pattern pamor sanak; but personally speaking I would be more convinced of this if I could see other recognisable Indonesian pamors evident in Moro krisses .
If there is only one pattern present in Moro kris that we can attribute an Indonesian pamor name to I will remain unsure on this matter .
Perhaps a separate thread about pamor in Moro krisses can be brought up in the Ethnographic forum .
I will be gone from the Warung until April fourth; so if I fail to respond to further posts from today on until that date I hope you will all understand .
I will be Hawaii bound at sea (can't wait!) .
Aloha for now and mahalo for your response Kai .
My best,
Rick
