Shapat was a generic orcish word for axe, though usually applied to the typical orc-axe, a one-sided, long-bladed axe with a long haft which could be used either one- or two-handed.It resembled in some ways an epsilon-axe or a shorter bardiche.
In some dialects Shapat or "Sharpat" could also refer to a sword-like blade which was attached to a short staff, a type of one-handed or " bastard" Sword-staff.
