Tomahawk, английский
- Algonquian tamahaac
- A weapon somewhat resembling a hand poleaxe, much used in boarding an enemy, as it is not only effective in combat, but useful in holding on, and in cutting away fasts and rigging when required. the name is derived from the hatchet of the north american indians.
- [1] a hand-held weapon with a steel blade on one side of a short wooden handle, and a sharp hook on the other. in the 17th–18th century, boarders used it to hang on to enemy bulwarks, and to cut away rigging, as well as in hand-to-hand combat. [2] a long-range, low-altitude, subsonic cruise missile, launched against land targets from submarines and surface vessels.
