Hello,
I talked with an Ethiopian gentleman about Ethiopian swords and when I mentioned the shotel he didn't understand what I meant. He did not recognize the word nor did he understand my description of the sword. Could we have the word wrong? Or is it more likely that the shotel is not in living memory, or is uncommonly known to Ethiopians? I will show him a pic next time and see what he says.
Furthermore when I mentioned the "guradé" he corrected my pronunciation to "guragué". Any comments on this?
Regards,
Emanuel
