every dialect has a word for it-- in english, it means barrier.

So then this is the Tausug word for gonjo?
I saw this diagram on Federico's site. You might remember that i directed you to it. But the line from the word "katik" actually stops on the blade itself, not the "barrier", so i was confused as to exactly what part he meant to attatch it to.
