Beautiful dress.
As for dhapur, you are probably safe making up your own name here is you feel you need one. This appears to be a new "creative" design.

How about:-

naga angsa luk sembilan ??

How about angsa nyosor luk 9 ??

I don't think we can have a verb as a dhapur name, Brekele.

We could probably call it "cucuk angsa luk songo" ( nine wave swan --or goose-- beak), if we wanted to give it a Javanese name.

But since it is a modern creation it is probably more politically correct to give it an Indonesian, rather than a Javanese name, so then we could call it "paruh angsa luk sembilan" (means the same thing).

But I don't think we could call it "angsa nyorsor":- "to peck by a goose". Actually since it is a swan (which is the same name as a goose in Javanese and Indonesian) "pecked by a goose" would be "kesosor" ( the 'angsa' is understood) or in the past, "disosor angsa".

Nice new keris there. But I am wondering what did the maker trying to express or signify by using goose or maybe swan on his keris.

Your corection is right Alan. Paruh angsa luk sembilan is sound better.
