Well, here is how i describe yelmaned swords (kilij as called in international terminology) : if it is long, i call it a " long pala", and if short, i call it a "short pala"
 So do other local collectioners/dealers. Sword = Kilich. Yelmaned sword=Pala. Perhaps they (long,short,stubbier etc.) were more spesifically named once in history when they were functional, but I don't know them for sure. Last edited by erlikhan; 9th July 2007 at 08:23 AM. |
