i would think that no single opinion could yield an acceptable definition, as it would surely depend on whatever book, or number of books he had refered to. maybe people can post all the definitions from noteable authors and see if a medium can be reached. there were a number of 'glossaries', some dating back to the 19thC and taken from travels in india and earlier writings. maybe after this, we can iron out any conflicts and reach a 'vikingsword' agreed terminology, as apposed to a rawson, egerton or pant.
anyone want to start?
