Tips

usage
白矛 is a literal compound 'white spear' rather than a fixed dictionary word. It shows up most often in xianxia / wuxia fiction, video games, and translations of fantasy weapon names. Note the homophone 白茅 (báimáo) 'cogon grass / Imperata cylindrica' - same pinyin, different second character.
