Claymore???

[Allan Thomson]

Mooar means big or great. Why are there lots of Americans saying that it didn't refer to the two handed sword? If anything the basket hilt took its name from the earlier two handed swords to become what people now call the Claymore.

Anyone with a basic knowledge of gaelic can figure it out.

Oh and Basket hilts were originally Cavalry Swords which became in vogue in the highlands. Which probably lead to the cutting down of two handers to form single handed basket hilts.
