@nonoy, thanks for the compliment
and the translation as well.
@blindside, thanks too for the reply. the fma group i belong to also uses 'kali' in its name. and i also don't think that the closeness of the two words (kalis & kali) is a mere coincidence. in this
little article i wrote, i was speculating that the dropping of the 's' in 'kalis' over time might have been due to the way
baybayin is written (like what paul morrow illustrated, below).
on the heart-shaped symbol on the scabbard, i see that motif from time to time. but i have yet to figure out what it is
