Alan, I hate the name game perhaps as much as you, and I absolutely didn't wanted to get involved in it here.
My only mistake was to say, both blades are Sempono, I should have said instead, these both Balinese blades are resembling the Javanese Dhapur Sempono, as there is no such Balinese Dhapur, and both have Ricikan, which aren't in accordance with Surakarta Pakem of this Dhapur.
This was my only excursion in the realms of name game, all the rest goes on your account.
Jasper&Mas Pirngadie was brought in by me simply, becouse Djelenga with his terminology, mentioned by you, may be a good source regarding Lombok Keris, but not Bali Keris.
Thank you very much for your response regarding flat Luk.
