Max, is 22 your team number?
P.S.: ignore these "ignorance of the law is no excuse" hard-a*ses; you didn't know you knew the correct definition.
-- he who forgest the past etc.
I [sic]'d the actual typo on ya'll, 'cause I thought it was funny.

If you wanted to score points and knew the real definition you should of didn't send the correct definition in cause then you couldn't of got points for voting for the correct definition cause it was yours. You have no one to blame but yourself.
But, like I said in t'other thread, I had no idea that the definition I submitted was the real one.

That ain't 22. 
And thanks for the vote of support, too.

>I had no idea
<I took a stab at the word based purely on its phonetic similarity to "talwaar" the Hindi word for any sword. I really had no idea that it WAS the word.>
i.e., tulwar .NE. talwaar?!
so, you made a connection w/o making any real connection
The connexion really surprised me, becauase when I decided to have a go, I started by looking for a hindi word spelled "tulwar", but couldn't find one. Then I looked for "talwar", and still couldn't find one. Going from the short "a" to the long "aa" was the last step. If I was a victim of anything, it was of my own long-standing dissatisfaction with the translaiteration from devanagri into Roman characters.

if we can get a gloss from the other reprobate involved, perhaps what we have here is an armilŪ?
Moi, I guess had the word deep in my passive vocabulary somewhere, maybe from reading The Jewel in the Crown or something. The etymology, as surely y'all know, was purely fanciful.
