Japanese

ショートスピア

Romanized as SHORTSPEAR in its internal file name in Radiant Dawn. Referred to in internal files of Path of Radiance as AXEBASTER, after the Axereaver from other games.[1]

Spanish

• Antihachas
• Pica corta

• Anti-axes. The weapon is known by this name in the Spanish version of Path of Radiance due to an error, as this is actually the Spanish name of the Axereaver. 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 from Radiant Dawn onward. Abbreviated to P. corta in Radiant Dawn due to space restrictions.

French

• Petit épieu
• Brise-hache

• Little spear. Used in other titles.
• Axe-Breaker. The french name of the Axereaver. Used in Path of Radiance.
