I thought nobody was sure what the sai originated from!

[edit] why Okinawa and not Indonesia?
I don't understand why the Okinawan name is listed if the presumed origin is Indonesia. Is there some reason why Okinawa should take precedence? Strikes me as yet one more example of the developed world ignoring Indonesian culture (e.g., the language is not distinct from Malay, independence was achieved in 1949 rather than 1945).
Although the Popular Culture section is useful, it is even less bound to a cultural context than the weapon's name. So, the primary entry for this item should be either the Indonesian term for the weapon or else a term that is clearly in predominant use in popular culture.
