pollaxes (staff weapons, edged weapons, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: European staff weapons featuring a head with an axlike blade balanced behind by either a sharp, slightly curved fluke or a flat, ridged hammerhead, a short spike surmounting the staff, and metal reinforcement protecting the upper part of the staff, with a rondel just below it as a hand guard. They were popular in foot combat in both warfare and tournaments in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Chinese (traditional) ..... 歐洲的一種棒狀武器,上端有著斧頭形狀的刃,刃後則有尖銳呈弧狀的錨鉤,或是扁平而有突脊的錘頭加以平衡。斧柄的頂端嵌有短尖刺,並有金屬製的強化物保護著斧柄上部,下方有一道迴圈作為護手盤。十五和十六世紀時,常用於戰爭以及競賽中的徒步格鬥。 
Dutch ..... Europese stokwapens met een kop met een bijlachtig blad dat in balans wordt gehouden door ofwel een scherp, licht gebogen weerhaak of een platte, onbuigzame hamerkop; voorzien van een korte punt bovenop de stok en een metalen versteviging die de bovenkant van de stok beschermt, met daar net onder een rondeel als handbeschermer; veel gebruikt bij voetgevechten in oorlogen en toernooien in de 15e en 16e eeuw. 
Spanish ..... Armas de asta europeas que tienen una cabeza con una hoja parecida a un hacha contrapesada atrás ya sea por un filo triangular, ligeramente curvo, o por una cabeza de martillo plana con lomo, una punta corta rematando el asta, y un refuerzo de metal para proteger la parte superior, con una arandela justo debajo como guardamano. Fueron populares en combates a pié, tanto en guerras como en torneos en los siglos XV y XVI.
