Caedo, i doubt that. Gold enhancements (kinatah) would never be considered "pamor". Lord knows how google translator would convert "kinatah".
Ceblokan pamor (also sometimes called "titipan") is just as he described, pamor material that is added when the keris is 90% finished, hammered on top so to speak. Nothing to do with gold.
