A lot of weapons, and by extension, peoples, get lumped together as "Nagas," not to the benefit of clarity of understanding either. For instance, the typical Kachin dao, also found among the Khamtis and which probably got to the eastern Nagas by trade, seem to be called "Naga" almost exclusively by dealers. These two are perhaps more appropriately known as knives or swords of the Kukis and the Garos. The distinction is certainly meaningful among those hill tribes, who frequently don't get along.
