I think it would be better to think of the listed weapons as categories instead of specific weapons.
I am unsure I understood what you were asking for, but the Shamshir would use the stats of a scimitar because its qualities are more in line with a scimitar than with a greatsword.
D&D has always underpowered and undervalued middle eastern style blades in their game statistics, despite the fact that they fare better in chopping/hacking competitions in real life. I was just wanting a middle eastern style curved sword comparable to the greatsword. Please just change Enkili's weapon to a greatsword, which is 50 gp instead of 60, 6# instead of 5#, 2d6 damage instead of 1d10, Heavy and Two Handed while lacking the 'Deadly' feature. I'll just lose the Mandagar flavor I wanted to hew true too.
