kriss

noun krisses

alternative Alternative form of kris (“dagger”). As far back as 1803 Captain Flinders met the swarthy, sea-going Malajs, clad then, as they are now, in badju and sarong, wearing gracefully-folded turbans on their heads, and with murderous-looking krisses stuck in their girdles.
