sickle

The sickle (a pot) is a kind of the farm implement.
I have the blade which curved for cutting of the plants or a tooth and am accompanied by a blade inward I go down, and to cut it.
A large-sized thing to use for grass and cutting wheat while the names of the sickle are different by size, and standing a large sickle (call size (scythe), a small thing squat down, and is in a half sitting, and cut grass, and to use with crops with (sickle) in the English, and divide it, and there is the thing of various forms by a use.)
I win the word of "the sickle" in the Japanese regardless of the big things and small things of the form, and there is not the strict distinction of both by the letter.

Awful, the history of the sickle is old and can date back to the Stone Age.
The large sickle appeared after the Iron Age.
The sickle which baked clay said to that a farmer of Sumerian of about B.C. 3500 used it exists; B.C. 1298 - A person having a sickle is drawn on the fresco of about 1235.

Like stating already, I distinguish size from in the English.
It is thought that there was already this distinction in those days when a sickle was in the Europe.
The size developed as a tool of the harvests of the grass, and it came to be used for harvest of wheat.
