Takouba form presentation

Hi Iain, regarding the pommel I suppose he refers to the stack but I am not sure. Unfortunately I am not a French mather language and I miss some details. I agree with you that Morel is entirely Tuareg centric while the takouba form is not. However, the information he provided are very important in my opinion because unless we should have eyewitnesses and chronicle this is a fact that we could have never unravelled. In any case I think that you did a great job.

Hi Mauro,

Compared to my abilities in French, you would seem like a professor of the language.

I am really grateful for the translations.

I agree Morel's work is very important, it is precise and contains the necessary information about why the design is the way it is for the Tuareg. I have to admit I spent less time studying Tuareg swords, mostly because I wanted to promote the fact that the takouba belongs to a lot of other people groups as well.
