The actual translation of "sword" is 剣 (ken).
I think the original answerer is trying to say zanbattou (斬馬刀), which is a specific type of especially large Japanese sword.

A literal translation of "soul of the sword" would be
刀の霊
"tou no tama"
But If you are speaking of the weapons from the Bleach manga by Tite Kubo, the romaji spelling would be Zanpakutou, pronounced "zanpakto" with the u in ku being hidden and the 'tou' being excluded in common English practice. We English speakers can't speak Japanese to save our lives, ne?
