That's a nice inventive term.

A guling is a "Dutch wife", or a bolster, like is used in a bed to put your leg up on, or to separate an unmarried couple.

The shape of this blade of yours David, is quite reminiscent of a guling.

I've never heard the term applied to a keris before, but there are a million or more keris terms out there I've never heard of.
