qi-si-pe-e | ξίφαι (ksipai) | a plane iron; a sword or †a spear
PY Ta 716 (Scribe 2)
Cf. ξίφος “sword”. While ξίφαι may generally refer to a plane iron, it may also refer to any iron implement. qi-si-pe-e may be a metathesis of a word that results in the Aeolic σκίφος (skiphos) “a sword”. Cf. O. Norse skaf-a “to plane, to scrape, to shave”. Cf. also skiff “the small boat of a ship” with a cutter, perhaps for its ability to “cut through water”.
