I agree with you Pak Ganja.

I'd call it adeg tiga too.

But I try to avoid playing the name game with pamor in particular, because as sure as I say its one thing, somebody else will tell me its something else or that his grandfather used to call it such & such.

You and I both know just how contentious this name business can be, and this Forum is tending more towards a classification resource every day, rather than a discussion group with an interest in some of the deeper aspects of the keris.

In fact, I'd be more than happy if somebody called this pamor "three upright stripes".

This means the same as adeg tiga, and really, I just can't get too excited about this focus on names and classifications.

For a little bit of variation, why not comment on the current symbolic meaning of this dhapur and mention how and why we often find this particular form as a family pusaka? This might be a bit more interesting than playing the file-clerk game.
