OP As per tsuwm's rules 4 & 5:
4. [no] points are awarded to any player who submits a definition which is similar or very close to the correct meaning [rather, the moderator shall request a resubmittal]
5. If two or more players submit a definition per rule 4 (in the judgment of the moderator), the round will be thrown out with no points scored
The correct definition is a type of Indian sabre.
Max submitted:
n. a type of sword. (from Skt.)
AnnaS submitted:
A medieval sword (from Sanskrit tul = tool; war = battle)
Possibly faldage's comment Your words tend to be harder to get a handle on than tsuwm's. is an oblique reference to the meaning.
I came across this word in G. K. Chesterton's Father Brown story "The Quick One":
For Oriental ornament pervaded the new scheme; and where there had once been a gun hung on hooks, and sporting prints and a stuffed fish in a glass case, there were now festoons of Eastern drapery and trophies of scimitars, tulwars and yataghans, as if in unconscious preparation for the coming of the gentleman with the turban.
