Tomahawk (axe)
A tomahawk (also referred to as a hawk) is a type of single-handed axe from North America, traditionally resembling a hatchet with a straight shaft.〔〔 The name came into the English language in the 17th century as an adaptation of the Powhatan (Virginian Algonquian) word.
Tomahawks were general purpose tools used by Native Americans and European colonials alike, and often employed as a hand-to-hand or a thrown weapon. The metal tomahawk heads were originally based on a Royal Navy boarding axe and used as a trade-item with Native Americans for food and other provisions.〔〔
==Etymology==
The name comes from Powhatan ''tamahaac'', derived from the Proto-Algonquian root ''
*temah-'' 'to cut off by tool'. Algonquian cognates include Lenape ''təmahikan'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.talk-lenape.org/detail.php?id=10022 ) The Lenape root ''təmə-'' means 'to cut off' and the suffix -''hikan'' forms the names of tools.〕 Malecite-Passamaquoddy ''tomhikon'', Abenaki ''demahigan'', all of which mean 'axe'.
