Japanese

ショートスピア

Romanized asSHORTSPEAR in its internal file name inRadiant Dawn. Referred to in internal files ofPath of Radiance asAXEBASTER, after theAxereaver from other games.[1]

Spanish

• Antihachas
• Pica corta

• Anti-axes. The weapon is known by this name in the Spanish version ofPath of Radiance due to an error, as this is actually the Spanish name of theAxereaver. The error was probably caused by the spear's file name in that game, "AXEBASTER", which is the Japanese name of the Axereaver.
• Short pike. The weapon is known by this correct name fromRadiant Dawn onward. Abbreviated toP. corta inRadiant Dawn due to space restrictions.

French

• Petit épieu
• Brise-hache

• Little spear. Used in other titles.
• Axe-Breaker. The french name of theAxereaver. Used inPath of Radiance.
