    'Kinna' The upgrade to Padjal weaponry.

    Is 'Kinna' simply a name or is it referring to some lore that I simply couldn't find being part of Gelmorra or anything?
    I doubt 'Kinna' is nothing but a name, but if it is, well, it is what it is then.

    I never did figure that one out. I thought it might be a Padjali word they forgot to tell us the meaning of.

    Padjali language is based on (although not a direct translation of) Ainu language so I figured it might be possible to find something to link to Kinna there?

    "Kina" is the Ainu name for grass and herbs but that doesn't really make sense with demonic looking weaponry.
    "Ri" or "Ki" means high and could be used in the context of a greater power.
    "Sikanna" means dragon which could link to Heavensward.
    "Naa" means also which doesn't make a lot of sense but hey it's there.

    I'm no linguist though so I could be totally off but maybe Kinna Weaponry could be like, High Dragon Weaponry(Ki+sirkana) or Augmented Nature Magic(Kina+naa)

    That's a thought I had, as well. I thought it might be related to Tactics Ogre's "Cursed" weapons, but I couldn't find the Ainu word for "Cursed" to see if it might correlate to Padjali.
