There's a weapon in the game called Ikwa. Did they mean the Zulu shortspear Iklwa?

ixwa would be equally as valid to use, IMO even if it's misspelled per se it doesn't matter much since it's sci-fi anyway.

I chose to change it to Ikwa both to separate it a bit from the very specific traditional Zulu weapon (after all, there aren't really Zulus in the game) and to make pronunciation a bit easier.

And why you didn't named it "Shortspear" ?
Because i bet when you translate "Iklwa" into engl. you would get shortspear .

The word Ikwa that just screams tribal versus the obvious but bland word shortspear. Ikwa of course, no contest.

Ok so you mean, when you play a tribal start, all things should be renamed into tribal language ?

Shortspear sounds generic, Ikwa is something that sounds cool.

Nice to see the Iklwa being seen.

And typing Ikwa in google only lead me to ikea and some random sites and google images doesn't even help either.

Maybe just calling it Iklwa would be better?
