PUFF, could you tell me more about these spears? Why does the chenk indicate a footman's weapon, as opposed to one used from horse or elephant-back?
Also, how long would this type of shaft typically be, and how were they affixed to the spear head? Could you describe the cultivation process?
Finally, are there any English-language sources on these spears (or any ancient Thai weapons, for that matter) that you can direct me to?
Many thanks,
Andrew
