Qama

[Rivkin]

Hm, I would say late XIXth century, but can't be sure.
Kindjal is a russian word, supposedly from arabic khanjar; qama is supposedly a farsi word, however turkish or even alanic origin is also possible. First is used since russian is a lingua franca in caucases. Second is used since such word (qama) exists in most caucasian languages; it is also used in Iran. They both describe the same object.
