      Spears and swords are basically the same thing, just with different proportions of blade and handle.pic.twitter.com/fwqDP4Dbpn

      Well, there's different words for it if the head of the polearm is more bladelike and less pointy, although swords obviously also vary in stabbiness vs sliciness

      I think of a blade on a stick as a "glaive", although a glaive is to a spear I guess as a saber is to an epee

      Chinese is interesting here because the word "dao", which is usually translated "knife", is the term for any single edged cutting blade, and also applies to big knives (sabers) and knives on sticks (a glaive or "guandao") The Japanese word "katana" is the same kanji

      Whereas the term translated "sword" ("jian") specifically means a double edged cut and thrust weapon (like a European longsword) And a "spear" (qiang) specifically has a thrusting tip

      "Qiang" is also the word for "gun" (although it's written differently) for the historical reason that the antecedent of guns were Chinese "fire lances" which had tubes spraying gunpowder and shrapnel on them

      A tradition, I guess, that didn't really die out until we stopped fixing bayonets onto rifles
