Request: Alternate Weapon Types

But Paladin is an extension of Gladiator
Gladi = sword and the japanese name of the class is also sword fighter

Yes... Please tell those gladiators who fought with spears or net/tridents and other weapons that they're not really gladiators. Yes, they had unique names for them as well, but the general term for all the groups was, as far as I know, gladiator. And these days, it definitely is.
(As for other things meaning sword... Penis was once a slang word for male genitalia, since it means sword in Latin. Vagina means sheath. I find it fairly amusing that those are now the "correct" and medical terms for it.)

noun
1. (in ancient Rome) a person, often a slave or captive, who was armed with a sword or other weapon and compelled to fight to the death in a public arena against another person or a wild animal, for the entertainment of the spectators.
2. a person who engages in a fight or controversy.
3. a prizefighter.

And sure, the JP term may be sword fighter... surely explains all the knives and daggers once used by the class, before those were reserved for rogues and ninjas.
Yes, I know a knife can be seen as a "tiny sword", but it really isn't, and you fight veeeery differently with a knife/dagger compared to with a sword. ^_~

As for the other post you quoted... The weapons are called [class]'s arm, even those that cannot be used by the base class (such as the relic or the i200/210 weapons). What the class is called (in whichever language you like) doesn't really change that, does it? ^^;

That don't change that the english class name Gladiator is just a localisation of the japanese 剣術士 class name, that just mean sword fighter.

That doesn't change the fact that you ignored the part of my post where I addressed that.
