assegai

They have brought with them a traditional Zulu assegai spear and a British boot plate, which was found on the battlefield, for the museum.

The old man was a famous ingcibi, a circumcision expert, from Gcalekaland, who would use his assegai to change us from boys to men with a single blow.

Many of the natives were shot or cut down, while several of the burghers received assegai wounds.

Their knob-kerries were held at the ready, their shields across their bodies, and each had shifted his assegai to the position used in battle.

His giraffe hide sandals, not needed till the thorns were traversed, and his little skin cloak, neatly folded, were fastened to one end of his assegai.
