tlami

(N)=finish/terminate/end, the hunting verb in Nauatl,=lami/nate bowyery,=Finnbogi=composite bow,=bogi=poctli(N)=smoke=ke/keadar(Basque)=quedar(Sp)=stay,=siyah=birch slat added to bow,= siyah(Turk)=black,=ciya/cia/cea(N)=not one. compressed wood used for laminate bowyery is taken from a leaning tree on the downhill side. it's darker than other parts of the tree and structurally different as it's the underside that struggles to push the tree upright. from this verbal faceoff, it's possible to conjecture the laminate bow originated with the Turks= tuk/toca(N)=deer breeding word, when they were a Tlaloc nomad deer tribe farther east than they are now, and once settled spread laminate bowyery to their mideast neighbors, the Hyksos, shepherd kings of Egypt.
