A scimitar is an edged weapon with a curved blade that is very similar to a short sword. In fact, the only differentiating factor appears to be the contact area of the pommel, which is half the size of those on a short sword.
Scimitars use and train the swordsdwarf skill. As foreign weapons dwarves cannot forge scimitars, limiting supply to whatever low-quality specimens can be traded from human caravans and scavenged from invaders. All dwarves can equip scimitars, though, like short swords, a tiny fraction must use two hands. Given their marked similarity to short swords, your dwarves are almost certainly better served by equipping high-quality short swords.
