Default Latin is Even Closer

Ariel,
Quite correct. Sheath in Latin is vagina or vaginae.
Sincerely,
RobT

IMO it's rather nice to lighten things up a bit with weaponary jokes although i guess some would find them er..blunt and are wont to give er... sharp comments.....

Gentlemen, obviously i agree with the concept of lightening it up a little bit...that said though i do need us to keep on topic...which in our case is the keris. So hopefully we can keep our examples and humorous commentary on subject or this thread will get out of hand...

Thanks to your comments I now also understand the joke.

And in addition to Ariel and RobT, scabbard in dutch is "schede", and this word is also used for the vagina.

Ps. no other keris humor available ?
maybe dancing keris in ballroom dress
