король и меч

sweord , cognate to Old High Schwert , literally

wounding tool from a Proto-Indo-European root *swer-

to wound, to hurt ) is a term for a long edged weapon,

fundamentally consisting of a blade, usually with two edges for striking

and cutting, a point for thrusting, and a hilt for gripping. The basic

intent and physics of swordsmanship remain fairly constant, but the actual

techniques vary among cultures and periods as a result of the differences

in blade design and purpose. The names given to many swords in mythology,

literature, and history reflect the high prestige of the weapon.
