Kubur,

As I mentioned, several authorities speak of the haladie. Stone has this entry:
Quote:
HALADIE. A Rajput double dagger with two short, curved blades fastened to the opposite ends of a straight handle. (Egerton 390). A similar weapon is still used in Syria (Fig. 342)
It seems that this form may not be of the "parrying shield" class, but used differently as rather a fancy knife.

Yes I agree and as I mentionned previously the saintie is not one weapon but a group of weapons including the short spear and the haladie, used with a shield

I think the madu is just the combination saintie + shield, all in one.
