If you refer to keris terminology in Java, yes, Alan is correct. "Perabot keris" or you may spell it as "prabot keris" as you like, means all the things that make keris complete -- except the blade. Such as keris hilt, warangka, mendhak, selut, pendhok etc.

Yes, perabot can mean "utensils". The synonim of perabot in Javanese language is "piranti". Or in Indonesian "alat". Even there is a modern terminology in Indonesian now, "piranti lunak" to mention "software" (computer). Or "perangkat lunak" to mention the similar thing (software)...

To mention the details of keris, such as greneng, tikel alis, wadidang, ganja, luk, sekar kacang, pesi, we use the word "ricikan".

Just another information for you...
