Whether there is a connection between similar grip styles of different ethnic groups in Southeast Asia is another question.
We'd have to look at the meanings of the handles, honestly, I don't really know. Here is another example of the shape that you call the "Y" shape, a Sumara from Sulawesi compared to Sikin Panjang handles and Pakayun handles. Regards, Detlef |

And even by the Ilongot on Luzon you find this form (itung) or on Mindanao by the Mandayas, see the examples.
