                            важнейшему изготовляемому из него орудию — сошнику; ‘железо’ вообще
                            стало называться <ref type="xr" target="#entry_æfsæjnag"/>, буквально
                            „то, из чего делают сошник“ (о значении суффикса <hi rendition="#rend_italic">-ag</hi> в данном случае

                                    2</biblScope></bibl>). Название орудия по материалу, из которого
                            оно сделано, — нередкое явление; в <hi rendition="#rend_bold">язгулемском</hi> языке отмечено точно
                            такое же движение значения: ‘железо’→ ‘лемех’, ‘сошник’ (см. ниже); ос.
                                <ref type="xr" target="#entry_qæd_1"/> ‘дерево’ значит также ‘ручка’,

                            The name of a tool based on the material from which it is made is not
                            uncommon; in the language, exactly the same movement of the meaning is
                            noted: ‘iron’ → ‘plowshare’, ‘ploughshare bone’ (see below); Ossetic
                                <ref type="xr" target="#entry_qæd_1"/> ‘wood’ also means ‘handle’,
