e/Throwing stick

Information
has gloss	eng: The throwing stick or throwing club is one of the first weapons used by early humans and cultures all around the world. In essence, it is a short stave or wooden club thrown as a projectile to hunt small game such as rabbits or waterfowl. In flight, it rotates rapidly cracking the target with one of the ends and either maiming or killing it. The difference between a throwing stick and a javelin is found in their shapes and lengths. A javelin is almost always a straight shaft with either a pointed tip or a spearhead attached to the front end. A throwing stick can be straight like a pointed wooden shaft or curved like the boomerang. Furthermore the throwing stick is a much shorter pole weapon than the javelin. However it became obsolete as slings and bows became more prevalent.

Meaning
German
has gloss	deu: Das Wurfholz ist vermutlich die älteste Waffe der Wildbeuter. Außer bei Menschen wurde auch bei Affen beobachtet, dass sie von Bäumen herab Stöcke oder harte Früchte auf herannahende Raubtiere, z. B. Leoparden, warfen. Daher wird angenommen, dass das Wurfholz noch älter als der Speer (also ein wenigstens an einer Seite geschärfter Stock) ist.
