Senses
1. javelin, short spear (weapon) — A light throwing spear or javelin used as a weapon of war, consistently rendered across all grammatical frames (bare noun, with conjunction, with preposition) as jabalina/lanza (Spa), भाला/बरछी (Hin), مِزْرَاق/رُمْح (Arb), 창/투창 (Kor), mkuki/fumo (Swa). The trilingual Arabic evidence splits between mizrāq (javelin) and rumḥ (spear), but both denote the same weapon class; all three sense clusters represent identical semantics with varying morphosyntactic packaging. 9×
