You mean burka ? I was taught that burka was mainly worn as a protection against arrows... It was somewhat effective against cuts due to the fact that burka is usually a few sizes bigger than the one who wears it.
Concerning the use of laz bicaqi I always thought it was basically a maritime, boarding weapon...
