I believe that as students of ethnographic weaponry we should strive to maintain culturally correct naming of objects under investigation or discussion. If we want precision in this respect, well, we are in the wrong field of knowledge.

However, as collectors of objects that are outside our own cultures & societies we could adopt an alpha-numeric system of naming, and that would assist in maintaining some degree of consistency & precision.

Amen to that.
