In the Senjecan lexicon there are three words for "axe":

agüêsos = single-bladed axe, hatchet
sêxros = double-bladed axe (x = /C/)
âxsos = battle axe

Names of other weapons in the Senjecan lexicon:

tsûnos = spear, pike, lance, javelin
áxsëtsûnos = halberd
ádzagüêsos = pole-ax (âdzos = pole)
n"sos = sword (Sorry, I can't put the double acute over the n)
lôqos = blade of a sword (q = /j\/)
îtsos = harpoon (not exactly a weapon, I suppose)
ârcüos = bow
têrlos = arrow, bolt, shaft, quarrel
tarâcüos = crossbow
güîÿos = bowstring (ÿ = j_0)
ÿêyros = gun (a generic word > ÿêyra, to shoot)
