Comment on The Silver Glaive by MatyMatyPup
Actually, halberds are closer to axes. This is, closer to a spear, or as Jessica has noted, a glaive.
I thought glaives were swords?
No, a glaive is closer to a spear.
Hmm...I've never heard this definition for a glaive before. I learned that it was a weapon similar to a spear, but with a blade that was typically fairly long and could be used to cut, and not just thrust.
Wikipedia agrees with both of us apparently, and I certainly can't call myself an expert on weaponry, so I'll just take your word for it.
Hmm...well, a word is simply a collection of symbols that mean something to us. Define it however you like. I was only stating the definition I know.
