Default Ngadal Meteng?

From time to time I've encountered Keris that in the description it was written Ngadal Meteng (pregnant lizard?).

If my understanding is correct this term refers to the shape of the blade that is wider in the middle compared to the top and bottom hence like a pregnant lizard?

What is the significance of this shape? Is it stylistically linked to a certain era or region?

Thank you
