Ariel:

Some of the terms that you have questions about are alternative spellings of better recognized words (e.g., bangkung, kampilan). Others are taken from the names of weapons used in Borneo or the Celebes. I am away from my references at the present time but will get back to you when I am home again.

You may find some of the unusual terms in v. Zonneveld, especially the ones adopted from Borneo tribes.
