4	225	He carried his bow, not yet strung, and a quiver of arrows, at his left hip.	10
4	253	"Make ready your arrows!" I heard again.	10
4	254	"Make ready your arrows! Sharpen your knives! Sharpen your knives! We are going to make meat! We are going to make meat!" Slowly, through the camp, in the darkness, now crowded with men and women, rode Agleskala, the crier of the Sleen Soldiers.	10

7	223	Suppose Canka had given you to boys, as a target for their arrows, or had rubbed you with blood, your own, and had set sleen on you".	10
17	64	I recalled that Canka had, on the first morning of the great hunt, inquired of Cuwignaka the location of one of his arrows.	10
22	33	Within it was my belt, with the scabbard and knife sheath, and the small bow I had purchased long ago in Kailiauk, with its sheaf of twenty arrows.	10
22	46	I took two arrows in my hand, with the bow, and set another to the string.	10
22	287	We had thrown the hoop for him many times, he then firing his small arrows through it.	10

29	28	It would be a greater danger, presumably, for a girl to hide in a lodge where, perhaps being mistaken for a free person, she might be struck by arrows, the skins of the lodge cover perhaps being riddled from above by the swift, flighted riders.	10

44	601	Hci and Cuwignaka fitted arrows to the strings of their bows.	10
44	606	Torrents of arrows sped from the height of the escarpment.	10
44	607	In moments the shields of the Yellow Knives bristled with arrows.	10
44	611	It did not take long for the assaulted Yellow Knives to realize that they were exposed to no ordinary rain of arrows, a shower soon finished, but something unnatural to them, something unprecedented in their experience.	10

14	328	In the case of the rencers this is to conserve arrows.	10
15	27	The arrows of tem wood, it seemed, had chosen to close the return to the east.	10
18	5	Immersion of the great bow, if prolonged, as it absorbs water, and is dampened and dried, and so on, impairs its resiliency, the effective life of the bowstrings, usually of hemp whipped with silk, is also shortened, and the fletching on arrows is irregularized.	10
30	7	Nine days ago we had come across the sand island where the tharlarion drive of the rencers had taken place, followed by the rain of arrows.	10
30	8	Most of the arrows were gone, apparently having been retrieved later by rencers.	10

14	87	The obvious recourse then would seem to be something like the Tuchuk saddle bow, which could easily clear the saddle to left and right, and could even be used, the rider turning in the saddle, to backward flight arrows.	10
