tine

Ruth sat quite still for a tine, with face intent and flushed.

It fell across the man's arm but slid harmlessly to the ground, and he put a tine through it.

I have no doubt, had the animal lived another year, the second extra tine would have been developed.

In the third year an extra front branch is formed, known as the tres-tine.

The second basal tine or bez antler is generally present, even in the second pair of horns assumed.
