Since it is used by so many different sellers this must have, at least in Indonesia, some meaning to the people there.
I am afraid that assuming the lack of response here bears any significance to the wide world of the kris is probably done thinking that the popularity of this forum exceeds its actual scope. I see very few people browsing the pages.

Thank you for your comments milandro.

I realized that there are several variations in spelling, however I’ve used “Meteng”, “Ngadal”, “Ngadhal” and “Kadal” and I’ve got only one hit beside this thread. What other spelling do you use?

Regarding the popularity of this forum or the number of people browsing this forum, I cannot confirm or negate.

Having said that, at least for my case, I can say that the pool of knowledge found in this forum is very considerable. What I like the most from this forum is that opinions/advices are given honestly and substantiated.

Kadal , Ngadal was suggested by Google.

As I wrote I find lots of ads with those terms, all Indonesian.

Even if we search the same terms the results of the searches are different , they depend on geographic location but also on your search history

examples (there are many more)








"....BARU PENATAS (DHAPUR), salah satu dapur lurus untuk tombak, simetris, pipih dan tipis. Mempunyai lekukan seperti pinggang di tengah, lebar bagian bawah pinggang lebih besar daripada bagian atas, diatas bagian metuk ada bungkul besar, permukaan bilah tombak diatas bungkul berbentuk ngadal meteng...."

and so on

While i realize your intention was to illustrate your point that google searches would lead to places on the internet where this term was used you should already be aware that it is not permitted to post commercial links on the forums pages. Please don't do that again, thank!
