| 27 | 788 | There are a number of "tethering slave bows," of course, for example, for fastening a slave over a saddle, a wheel, a piece of furniture, or such. |
| 27 | 789 | These diverse uses and meanings, of course, are not mutually exclusive, because a slave might well be displayed in a "tethering slave bow". |
| 27 | 790 | Some conjecture that the original meaning of 'slave bow' has to do with exhibition. |
| 27 | 791 | Accordingly, it is their speculation that the "tethering slave bows" are derivative from that primary usage, that of exhibition. |
| 27 | 792 | This would make sense because the "tethering slave bows" certainly do exhibit the slave, as well as rendering her helpless. |
| 27 | 793 | Others seem to feel that the basic meaning is that of a form of secure and revelatory binding, in which the slave is helplessly and delightfully displayed, and that the exhibitory usages of the expression are secondary, being founded upon, and derivative from, this more basic, original usage. |
| 27 | 794 | On the other hand, as most suppose, and as seems most plausible to the slave, these usages may very well have been developed independently, both based on the obvious consequences on the slave's body of a certain form of handling or manner of binding. |
