Talking about Moro weapons, Krieger [Bulletin 137 of The Smithsonian Institution: The Collection of Primitive Weapons and Armor of the Philippine Islands in the United States National Museum by Herbert W. Krieger, 1926] identified 64 types, as follows:

1. cabil
2. ompac
3. tanculo
4. paruar
5. capipis
6. pamale
7. sia
8. corang
9. agong
10. togo
11. togoiran
12. cotlong
13. pamarang
14. sayap
15. sayapi
16. colingtan
17. pauli
18. busoc
19. tunot
20. lantaca
21. dantunot
22. sabilulan
23. dampig
24. yrong
25. moro mindanos
26. taming
27. calasac
28. lunar
29. mimpil
30. duyar agong
31. duyar colingtan
32. duyar sabilulan
33. lugay cotlong
34. tombag
35. dilo
36. tinagoo
37. budiar
38. pisao
39. pangogam
40. kilapris
41. alina
42. compay
43. saganab
44. kris
45. talibong
46. lanti
47. badong
48. zayang
49. ligua
50. sipul
51. puro
52. tinamban
53. aguial
54. kris [another type apparently]
55. tabas [same as panabas?]
56. campilan
57. datupani
58. singari
59. badao
60. balasion
61. narani
62. sandata
63. carimay
64. tupat

Given that for instance the bangkung and the barung were not listed, then certainly they must have been called by other names in the above.

The other inference that may be surmised from the list is that perhaps some of them must be closely related to each other, such that there are not really 64 major weapon types.

Anyway, would anybody know whether there is a particular item in the above that is a class on its own, as in it is not a variant of the others?

Thanks.
