Though "longche" may be the origin of the English word 'lance', strange how word meaning changes through time.

One problem is that in modern usage any spear used on horseback becomes a lance. The Ancients had different usages, a spear was still a spear even when used on horseback. Hence the ungainly modern use of the word 'pike' for what were 'longer lances'.
