Hello! Do you have any latin words/epithets for swords, something in the vein of sword-bearing please?
you have come to the right language for words about swords!
i think the word you want here is ensifer (feminine ensifera, neuter ensiferum), "sword-bearing."
it's from the word ensis, which is a more high-flown/poetic word for sword, like "blade." the everyday counterpart of ensis is gladius (a gladiator is a person who wields a gladius).
