Salaams Ibrahiim,
I was addressing Archers question as to the name for HIS dagger.....Dharia. As you will see, my comment of what OTHER daggers were described as in the Exhibition catalogue/book, was qualified by the names used in Oman and Yemen to describe their daggers....ie Oman=Khanjar....Yemen=Jambiya. As to the origins of the various terms, I leave for some other thread which may appear in the future, rather than confuse the original reason for THIS thread..
