area mistake, messed up keywords for extra desc and short names of longsword.

use lore instead of look. Its more helpful.

I used lore and there is no 'sword' word in longswords's description, only 'longsword'. That seems to be rather look command bug than inventory's.

when you create items you can add an extra desc, which has own keywords, so you can use "look hilt", "look runes" etc. 
and short desc which is like "sword longsword black flames", and builder forgot to add "sword: to this, or mistakenly added "sword" to extra desc.

So this is area mistake.

actually "look <item>" could be revamped, to show obvious things like weight, material and short names.
and i'd like to see lore skill bumped. Better chances, easier to get info.
