Lungguh Wilah?

Dear All,

I’ve stumbled to an old article about Keris makers from an Indonesian magazine (Tempo, 2011). In one of the paragraph (see attachment), about a keris maker named Sukamdi the article mentioned:

“Finally he figured it out the telltale of good quality Keris. It lies on the Condong Leleh and Lungguh Wilah he said. Condong leleh is the skewness of Keris. Whereas Lungguh Wilah is a horizontal line located at the bottom of Keris.”

In regards to Condong Leleh, via browsing this forum I’ve found a thread where it was discussed and explained by Alan that a good quality Keris should have a Condong Leleh that is neither too straight nor too lean.

How about Lungguh Wilah? First of all what is it Lungguh Wilah? Is it the bottom part of the blade that touch the ganja? Secondly what indication can we obtain from Lungguh Wilah to determine whether a keris is a good quality or not?

Cheers,

Yohan
