Names are, of course, relative. A rose by any other name.....etc., etc. What i think we need to establish is a common understanding so that we, as a group of collectors, can understand each other when we say i've got this talibong or what do you know about sundangs. Personally, even if sundang is the proper term used in Visayas, i would hesitate to use it myself, at least on it's own, for fear that someone would think i was referring to a kris or some other sword. On it's own it's a fairly useless term. Usually when i hear that word used to discribe a kris it is used in conjuction with the word kris as "kris sundang". The bottom line is that we communicate and understand each other.
