#YAKETY AXE TRANSCRIPTION MANUAL#

I used an online tool named Translatr to translate both axe and hatchet into 90+ languages, and cross-checked these with the manual translations on Wiktionary, and literally the only word of those ~200 options which started with a y was Swedish yxa.Д¬ross-checking the translation from Swedish back into English confirmed that Swedish yxa is English axe.These are all sword-like weapons, not axe-like, and as mentioned in the previous bullet, of the three, only yatagan has made it into English dictionaries. Going one step further, I checked Wikipedia's comprehensive list of bladed weapons, and from all countries, throughout all history, only 3 start with an initial y: yanmaodao (Chinese), yari (Japanese), and yatagan (Turkish).An image search tells us that no ball-maker would confuse this sword-like blade for an axe. I used 's reverse-dictionary functionality to search for 'words starting with a y and having a meaning relating to axe'В№ and the only thing suggested was yataghan: 'a long Turkish knife with a curved blade having a single edge'.I checked several thesauruses, like you, as well as Wikipedia's category for axes, and while I found adze, chopper, cleaver, hatchet, mattock, tomahawk, twibill and so on, I found nothing approaching a word with an initial y.The J above it is for julgran, the Swedish word for Christmas tree.

The photograph above is page 22 of the Swedish children's book Vill du lГ¤sa I ('Would you like to read ') by painter Elsa Beskow. I think the manufacturer of your son's ball mixed in a Swedish word: Yxa Swedish, n.: an axe Following is an image of that part of the ball, in case it helps: I bought the ball in a store called Lojas FranГ§a, located in a mall called Bourbon Shopping Wallig in Porto Alegre, in southern Brazil.Д®dit - I was looking for any sign that could help us identify the manufacturer of the ball and all I could find were the letters DNE near the air valve. The complete list of letter/symbol pairs, for those asking, is Apple, Bear, Cat, Dog, Elephant, Frog, Giraffe, House, Ice, Jet, Kangaroo, Lion, Mouse, Nail, Owl, Pig, Queen, Rainbow, Snail, Tiger, Uboat (submarine), Volcano, Worm, Xylophone, Y / axe, Zebra.ДЄnd thanks to Google sleuthing, another view of the ball may be seen at the site. Y is surrounded by Queen, Nail, Worm, Elephant and Kangaroo, I suppose.Д¬an someone help me identify which English word is depicted in Y? I searched for synonyms for axe ( hatchet, tomahawk) but could not find one that starts with Y.ДЇollowing is a picture I took from the ball where the Y and it's image can be seen. That works for all of them, except for the Y, which image looks like an axe to me. I suppose the images are of words in English that begin with each of the letters. My 1-year kid has a plastic ball that is decorated with all 26 letters from the English alphabet and besides each letter is an image. It is not currently accepting new answers or interactions.
