Are Tengu proficient with temple swords?

". Does this mean that it is proficient with this weapon?


I assume that any weapons under the updated Fighter weapon groups "Blades, Heavy" and "Blades, Light" are treated as sword-like weapons for tengus. The table can be found on page 45 of Ultimate Combat, and the temple sword shows up in the Blade, Heavy category.
