zweilander
two handed weapon


Explanation:
Never heard that term in English before. But maybe it is a spelling error and is supposed to mean Zweihander, which would then be German and mean two handed weapon. But I guess that depends on the context..
I would not know how it translates into Japanese, though ;-)

Asker: Thank you for the answer. I checked my old German-Japanese dictionary too, but I can't find it. The word was found in searching google. Strange.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. Your 2nd reference seems to have a hint. Is it 剣 and 楯 kind of weapon? Maybe I will leave it in Katakana.
