The point is that in origin all such items were sickles for agricultural work, as their names suggest. hansia - sickle Arival or aruval - sickle All other names that include "arival" are different types of sickles. "Val" means "sharp tool" like saw, plough, scissors and of course sickle and sword. Congavellum = Kongaval (from Egerton). I suppose it was in original "caan val" (Malayalam) or "konam val" (Tamil) - a curved sword. Last edited by Mercenary; 7th December 2023 at 04:11 PM. |
