Sword
Katana
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well!
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it uses the kun'yomi reading. I'm hoping you already know this word - that will make everything much easier. It's かたな (you know what a katana is, right?).
