Many thanks for the informative comment.
Are there any historic references to Ethuna Kadu in Sri Lankan sources?
When was its name and use mentioned first?
The problem is that when exotic, poorly known and " outlandish" Indian weapons are mentioned, many people respond that they are just modern Kalaripayattu inventions, designed to fool naive Westerners.
I hope your friend, in addition to being a master of this fascinating weapon, has factual knowledge about its history.
Many thanks in advance.
