What does POMMEL mean in Scrabble?

A rounded knob on the end of a sword hilt, or the raised front part of a saddle.
A pommel on a sword balances the blade and gives the hand something to rest against, and on a saddle it is the raised front that a rider can grip. Gymnasts know the same word from the pommel horse, an apparatus with two handles on which they swing their legs in circles. The word can also be a verb meaning to beat someone repeatedly, and that sense has a more common twin spelled pummel.
