keris & handle for comments

Hello Eric,

I was also going to recommend Alan's glossary as a starting point; it's a fairly select choice of keris terminology though.

Rather than a general internet search and doing a lot of desperately needed cross-checking, I'd also suggest that in many cases a search on this keris forum will yield more corroborated and up-to-date information on a given word (including possible alternate spellings). It is also worth trying the search on the main forum, too, since many old threads from the days before the warung kopi are still found over there. You can also search the archived fora (some of these old discussions are somewhat dated already while others are found in the forum's best-of collection: classics .

Regards,
Kai
