Yes Galvano, but that is for the hilt, and I was talking about the blade
The ceremonial nimchas are called that just because of the characteristic hilt I think, but the blade type is wholly different and it's only similar to the shula and flyssa (as far as I know, which is little).
I am planning a trip to Algeria in about a year or so, and I will definitely pass through Morocco and have a look at the many weapons they have...

-oh yes! there is the koummiya, but then the blade is quite different, is used differently and it doesn't bear incised decorations-
