I'm wondering whether it is a single part for a crossbow, or
simply sort for "product" to mean the whole thing. Since English

quite well at communicating, but there is still that term which puzzles


The "prod" is the bow part of a crossbow. And the arrows are quarrels

quarrels or bolts G


Don't think I'd hang around to quarrel. I think I'd just bolt for cover.

But the second projectile launched in the encounter would be much
smaller, faster, and going in the opposite direction.
