What does Pusat mean?
Weapons, armour and military equipment
In Turkish: silah, zırh ve savaş donanımı
Pusat evokes military equipment as a whole rather than one particular weapon. Older uses also include clothing and belongings; as a personal name, its association with arms and armour is especially prominent, so translating it simply as “sword” would make its meaning too narrow.
