Default Swords from the Egerton's book

Egerton is not a very reliable source of information. Any book putting a Parang Latok and a Mandau among the weapons of Assam and N.E. frontier (p. 84, Fig.19) is suspect.
However, he mentions specific weapons such as Lumbiri, a battle-axe of the Garo Naga,a naginata-like "Veecharooval" , batlle axe "Venmuroo" (p.79, Fig 17, ## 89,90,97).
What do we know about them? Are they just a figment of imagination, misreading, or are they real definitions of particular weapons?
