Thanks I'll have to look into the hilt named for this. Your comments did get me to find that Peusangan is in the district of Bireuen on east coast of Aceh

Yes,

I just noticed that my answer was a bit confusing.
Instead of regional name I meant the name of a region.
Sometimes it's hard to switch between different languages all the time when communicating...
