I think it would be nice if someone on the art team or whatever would illustrate what all of these weapons are, and put it on the website somewhere... for many of them, I just don't know what to picture when I'm using it... especially some of the blunts... is a ukabi a morning star, or a hammer, or what?
I just think it would be cool to know what they all look like so we can see ourselves using them.
I think it would be cool to have them called what they look like. As a player, seeing an atapwi, an ngalio, a koummya, or a kaskara tells me nothing unless I go and look up what it is. Really, looking it up still only tells me the stats of the weapon, and not what it is.
In character, I do not speak elven or any dialect thereof, and could not possibly look at a bladed weapon and think of it as a recade. It looks like an axe; I would think of it as an axe, or, at most, an elven axe.
Whilew I appreciate the attempt at creating cultural immersion and depth, giving things wierd names which describe nothing does not really nhance my gaming experience when it comes at teh expense of knowing what the hell the thing actually is.
Oh, and I would also like to see some pictures of what the elven (and rakash) weapons with incomprehensible names look like.
(Thanks to Sorenne and the Shopping Catalog for allowing me to pull up these nonsense words, and properly use them as examples.)

I agree, that's how I feel too, but since I doubt there's any chance of the names being changed... I just wish we had some illustrations.
"Racial" weapons and stuff is cool and some of them are common enough that I'm used to it and I know what they are when I see them... but other times I have no clue what something is, and in character, that doesn't make sense.
It kind of deters me from using those items... like the ukabi is a fantastic HB weapon, but I haven't bought one yet... partly because of the price, but also because I don't really know what it is.

One thing that I would love to see in the weapons from the Leth store is an update on the appraisal of some of the more expensive weapons at least.

Violence does not lead to more violence. The truth is that ineffective, unfocused violence leads to more death. However fully thought through, well executed violence never leads to more violence because afterwards, the other guys are all dead.
