H4ow to count Luk???

IMO (which may be argued) these two blades can be interpreted as having an even number of luks (respectively 6 and 12 luks) according to the modern counting method. However they have an odd number of luks (respectively 5 and 11 luks) according to the Hindu method. This is the case everytime the last luk points to the back of the blade (wadidang) and not to the front (ganja). The first blade shown has been worn-out with age but the second one is a recently made piece.
