Sicae has a meaning. It's a type of curved dagger.
and as for that particular shape, its not curved, it is bent, very sharply. there is a corner halfway down the blade.
what NiiChan is showing in the banner, is a Tiger Knife in english.

... f off. No one comes to a story of any kind to have someone psychoanalyze it. It is what it is. The game is great and the writing is even better. One detail that most won't even care about DOESN'T MATTER.

maybe you need some psychoanalysis, or maybe you just need a dictionary, cos there was zero psychoanalysis in my comment. #WhySoMad?
Inexact. The genetive in Latin means propierty, as in, anyone's propierty. The word "sicae", alone, would translate better as "X's (curved) dagger", as in, a dagger as a possesion. Also, even if the exact, military definition of "sica" is rightly "a curved dagger", the word is used in classical Latin as a generic for any kind of sharp and pointy object, like a prominent tusk (as the ones boars have). The very word "sicarius" comes from it.
PS: Shadow King, stop being so extra. Because your behaviour is extra, not the info dump from a couple of language and military nerds.
