Kris Cundrik or kris patrem ?

G'day all,

Until there is a standard recognised by all:

- 'Cundrik' is used by many people to refer to keris which are smaller than 'normal' (a traditional measure is a handspan or less).
The preferred 'standard' term is 'Patrem'.
- The keris 'Cundrik' form is for straight keris. Its main feature is that it has a very long, plain 'gandik' which is located at the back, i.e. the 'ganja' is reverse-oriented.

Cheers.
