What is the name of the blade in your language?
The reason why I'm asking is the search for this word etymology in Slavic languages. In Polish blade is "g³ownia" - "£" we read similarly to English "W". The official synonym is "klinga" but some people say this word came from German "klinge". I'm not quite sure about this because in Russian the blade is "klinok" (written in Cyrillic of course). And this is derivative from "klin" - wedge in English, no way borrowed from German.
I'm very curious what the name "blade" has in another Slavic languages. If you have any more info in this matter I would be very grateful.
