Abstract

The Qala`i sword remains a mystery. Few researchers are interested to pursue this extensively. I actually wonder if many Malays have heard of this sword and have gone to discover precious findings. My hunch is there is a passing interest gleaned from a handful of Facebook or Blog postings. Hopefully, this will change. In the meantime, I shall attempt to provide an insight and highlight the challenges ahead. Qala`i originated from the word Qala`i (Qala`i) and was discovered in an Assyria inscription dated 1300 BC under the reign of Ashurbanipal 1. A peek into ancient inscriptions: The system did not contain any vowel alphabet, only consonants (EFL Beeston) and the Pw-rs-ty for Philistines (Wainwright, 1961). The Qala`i sword is pronounced as Qala`i without the vowel sound.
