Default Weapon “or” ?

B271 under broadsword
The second column is weapon; every other listing is or

Is this the conjunction or as in a or b?
Is it an abbreviation of something?
It does have its own stat line

Very confused…help a newbie out.

The italicized "or" you see in a weapon table indicates an alternative attack for the weapon. For a Thrusting Broadsword, for example, the first entry is for swinging the blade, while the second is for thrusting it. Note in these cases Cost and Weight are simply "-" to note that the cost and weight are already accounted for by the main "mode" of use for the weapon.

You can swing or thrust with these weapons.
