The little roundish thing in the sorsoran does not have a form I recognise, so I cannot name it.

I agree with Alan that this pamor, though similar to pamor puser, may be something a little different. All the pamor puser i have seen are a fairly standard spiral in a circular pattern. This pamor very specifically steps out of that pattern. Though i am not sure if it has a different name or intention.
I do like this blade very much. The wrongko seems to be nicely crafted, though not particularly a style i enjoy. I wonder is anyone is capable of translating the script, though it is very likely a verse from the Quran. The donoriko hilt is also nicely carved, but personally i find these appear too over done when they have the bulky selut attached. Over all a nice keris though.
