This follows on from the Bali keris discussion I started a few days ago.

One reason why I bought the keris was a striking similarity of the blade to the cenok blades of North Malayan Coteng. Both have a relatively thin and long ganja, a wide gandik with no sogokan and very shallow waves. Now that the Balinese blade has been identified as Tangguh Segaluh, I wonder if the cenok is a variation of the Segaluh...like a memory of the first keris introduced to Singora and Patani and replicated in the cenok thereafter. Would the cenok be considered a "segaluh" blade?

I am not sure if Majapahit extended their influence all the way up to Patani/Singora since Patani at most times was under the influence of the Siamese. But it would be interesting to discuss this.

Opinions please.
