What does “Combo” mean on weapons

nier-automata

I'm looking through the weapons in my inventory and in the shop and I keep descriptions like this under each weapon:

Attack: 190 – 210

Combo: Lt 5 Hv 2

What does "Combo" mean in this context?

After experimenting with my own weapons, I can confirm that these represent how many moves are in a Light or Heavy combo with that weapon.

That is, if you have a weapon as your Primary with Lt 3 Hv 2, you will do a 3-hit combo with your Light attack button. If you have this weapon as your Secondary (Heavy) weapon, you will do a 2-hit combo with your Heavy attack button.
