Which translates as what?
One think I always have found interesting about swords is their special role as defensive instruments in many cultures that very few other weapons fill. You cant really carry a spear around on a day to day routine and a knife is usualy a multitool or hidden. Swords on the other hand can and have been carried around by those of rank as a purpose built weapon. They are not the most effective weapons in the world, but what they represent as a badge of honor from longswords, to katanas, to tulwars gives them a special place in most cultures' psyche.
