Balinese keris

[A. G. Maisey]

SJ, I don't want to get involved with the correctness or otherwise of names, I have found that what is correct for one group of people, or even for a single noted authority, is not accepted by others.

However, I feel I must point out that names & beliefs that might be accepted in one society, cannot legitimately be extended for use in a different society. In short, we cannot use Javanese names or values to refer to Balinese keris.
