A chain ( chep , threshing , tsap [1] ) is a hand-held agricultural tool for threshing [2] (separating grain from ears ).
Usually consists of two (less often - several) movably connected ends of the sticks: a longer (up to 2 m [3] ) handle and a shorter (up to 0.8 m [3] ) working part, striking the cereals .
The handle was called the holder , the holder , the cadet , the chain , the chain guard , and the connection between the handle and the working part — the prize , hitch , nail , curse , tail, and was made of rawhide . The working part — the stick that struck the grasses — had the names striker [4] , bilen , whip , beatchik , priuzen , kyok , bathog , tying , hanging , threshing , thresher , tipok , tip .
A kind of cold weapon arose from the flail — the battle flail , and in Japan and China, the nunchak .
