nuolenkärki

Nuolenkärki is a Finnish word that translates to "arrowhead." It is most commonly used to refer to the sharpened tip of an arrow, designed for piercing. Historically, arrowheads were made from a variety of materials including stone, bone, wood, and later metal such as iron or bronze. The shape and material of a nuolenkärki varied depending on its intended use, such as hunting different types of game or for warfare.

In a more metaphorical sense, nuolenkärki can also describe something that is pointed or sharp, or a leading edge. For example, it might be used figuratively to describe the vanguard of an advancing group or a sharp, decisive point in an argument. The term's primary and most literal meaning, however, remains the projectile point of an arrow. Archaeological finds often include numerous examples of ancient nuolenkärki, providing insights into past technologies and hunting practices.
