"The Dahong Palay (also spelled Dahon palay or Dahompalay), literally \"rice leaf\" in Tagalog, is a single-edged sword from the Philippines, specifically the Southern Tagalog provinces of Batangas and Mindoro. The sword's name could either be a reference to the similarity of its shape to the leaves of rice or to local green snakes \"dahong palay\", purported to be extremely venomous."@en . . .
