flail Explanation: korbacz to także inna nazwa cepa bojowego. Zarówno po polsku, jak i po angielsku jest często mylony z morgenszternem (ang. morning star) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flail#Medieval_weapon -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 58 mins (2005-08-08 21:25:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- więcej na temat dawnej broni znajdziesz tu: http://www.man.poznan.pl/~ritter/Html/pike.html http://www.man.poznan.pl/~ritter/Html/kiscien.html Jak widać widać nazwy korbacz, kiścień i morgensztern używane były dość wymiennie (może po prostu w różnych okresach i w różnych rejonach popularność zdobywała jedna z nich) |
