Certain terms and formulations may be perceived as problematic today. A 2009 research project concluded that most descriptions are factually correct and still usable; only a few details were found to be inaccurate or incorrect.

Dagger - "Tappi sapukala".The blades of these daggers belong to the second type, are straight, more or less well damascened, of different lengths and breadths and all of them are without poison grooves.
