What does SNATH mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The long wooden shaft that a scythe blade is attached to, usually curved and fitted with side handles.
A snath is shaped with a gentle curve and one or two side handles, called nibs, positioned so a mower can swing the attached blade in a smooth, sweeping arc close to the ground. Traditional snaths were carved from a single piece of wood, often ash, chosen for its light weight and flexibility under repeated swinging. The word has several accepted spelling variants, including snathe, snead, and sneath, reflecting its long history in regional farming vocabulary across English-speaking countries. Although scythes are now used mostly for traditional or ornamental mowing, the snath remains the standard term among people who still use or restore the tool.
