Excuse me that I will divagate short from the dagger in question.

My better half is a native Halmahera women (orang Halmahera) and I have visited Halmahera several times and married my wife there traditional. I have collected some swords on Halmahera. The name which was given me by concurrent statements from the natives is semarang. You will hardly find an other reliable solid basis for this name. Everybody can now decide byself if my word is a "reliable solid basis".

I think when we want to study ethnograhic weapons and can't find old written documents we need to believe credible statements from persons who have done some research.
