Ioan, I think that Paul is simply using a different definition of "falx". If I understand correctly, he is using the term more generally to refer to several similar weapons.
I personally use it to refer specifically to the Dacian (or found in Dacia) weapon (and recommend that usage) but maybe there are other's who use it differently. Perhaps it would be more useful to simply define ones such terms at the beginning instead of arguing over terminology.
Just my 2 denari worth.
For a bit of info on another common Dacian type of sword, check out the post on link from old RAT
