Hello, I'm Wisnu from Palembang Indonesia

Just wanna share about Hilt's name in my village or region

The second Hilt is called "LUDAY" which means a DEMON EEL , the king of water/ river, an eel without ears

Rumour has (myth) some people often see it when they go fishing

People in Some villages at LAMPUNG-SUMATERA says "LUDAY = DRAGON"

I still don't know why it's called GARUDA ??? In my opinion there is no resemblance at all with Garuda/ Bird
