yatagan , także: yataghan

The name of the neighborhood comes from Turkish words yatagan and mahalle, meaning "sword street".

Also in English, the term could now refer to a Turkish weapon like the Yatagan.

Within the Ottoman Empire, the use of a curved sabre called the Yatagan started in the mid-16th century.

Turkish yatagan swords were the signature weapon of the Janissaries, almost a symbol of the corps.

Having no guard, the yatagan fitted closely into the top of the scabbard; this was customarily worn thrust into a waist sash, retained by hook.

It has been suggested that the yatagan, used in the Balkans and Anatolia during the Ottoman Period, was a direct descendant of the kopis.

The yatagan or yataghan (from Turkish yatağan ) is a type of Ottoman knife or short sabre used from the mid-16th to late 19th centuries.

The yatagan was extensively used in Ottoman Turkey and in areas under immediate Ottoman influence, such as the Balkans.

Policeman Nikola Novaković cut off Karađorđe's head with a yatagan, and killed Krnar with a shotgun.

The T-84-120 and Yatagan has been developed employing an auto-loaded 120mm tank gun which fires NATO ammunition as well as ATGMs.

The gunboats Pluvier, Trombe, Éclair, Hache, Mousqueton and Yatagan took part in the Son Tay Campaign (December 1883).

Millot had hoped that the gunboats of the Tonkin Flotilla could support the attack, but Hache and Yatagan drew too much water to sail beyond the confluence of the Red River and the Clear River.

In times of peace the Ottoman Empire supplied no arms, and the Janissaries on service in the capital of Constantinople were armed only with clubs; they were forbidden to carry any arms save a cutlass, known as yatagan, the only exception being at the frontier posts.
