Gonjo is a Javanese word. You need to look there. Mr. Maisey could probably tell you more about it that i.

javanese words usually have malay or sanskrit/tamil/hindi etymology. I can't find the etymology of gonjo.

I don't even know if gonjo and katik are the same. if gonjo is a continuous part of the blade then it's not the same as katik.
