Reference to the old version of the Ensiklopedi Keris, page 55, buntut urang is a kind of buntut cecak (urang=shrimp), which buntut cecak agreeing as the rearest part after the gandok part of the ganja by seeing from the bottom (not side seeing).
So, maybe buntut cecak has sub-definiton : buntut cecak and buntut urang.
Buntut urang has bolder and flat at the tip (like shrimp tail), another pointed tip known as buntut cecak.
