			AFAIK the Moorocan swords are, like these S. Arabian/Swahili versions, natively known as saif/sayf.  Certainly the relation between the two types is undeniably very close indeed, and there seems to be a certain amount of sharing with other Arabian sabres and those guardless Berbese ones that commonly have a hole thru the pommel.
