David, I really sorry if my writings tend to make more confuseness.
I always try to use the easy vocabulary in keris discussion.
I realize that if only I could provide better pictures for every discussion it would be easier for us to understand.
In this case I believe Alan is the best person to describe those terms in keris vocabulary. as we all know, in javanese vocabulary there are inconsistency in the writing and spelling matter.
even for a javanese like my self still need the keris ensiclopedia to ensure that I do not make a missunderstand.

Thanks Alan for taking the time to describe these terms. It was really just the first 2 referring to gonjo shapes that were unfamiliar to me, but it doesn't hurt to define the others as well.

Yeah, I knew you'd know all the others David, but I think we get a fair few visitors who would not know the meanings.

Actually, you'll find a fair sort of a glossary here:-
