Me thinks 1d8 means a sword that will do damage from 1 (minimum) to 8 (maximum), depending on what the 8-sided dice generates in the game. As for 2d4, that means the damage being dealt is determined by 2 dices, each with a value from 1 to 4. So the minimum damage that a 2d4 sword can deal out is 2 and the max is at 8.
