Here is another one that I believe come from the same place.
According to the article by Schmeltz from 1892 (the article that Flavio made available to us all - thanks!!!) those parang originates from SE Kalimantan in the old state of Pegatan. He lists a resembling one (7a and b) as a Parang Kerekupang (whatever that means?). Another name for a resembling SE Borneo parang is (Pisau) Kamudi Singkir (= Diagonally steer knife??? ). See also Leiden 761-22, 781-85 and 761-27 as a reference. Michael |
