But it's definitely nice to see a sword with a name that does the weapon justice without being pretentious.
Of course, all the great blades of history/mythology (the more I study the two the more convinced I grow that they're hardly separate) have names that are either utterly incomprehensible or wonderful words.
Excalibur from "Caledfwlch?" Durendal? Tizón? Nice names.

I love Wolfe's odd translations (and outright mistranslations).

I think some of that was intentional, knowing him

Oh, yes. His incorrect translations are done on purpose (in Latro, at least).
