EN: bow (for arrows)
The OG weapon before guns were a thing. Think Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, or Hawkeye from the Avengers. It's the 'B' in 'B & A' (Bow and Arrow). Not to be confused with the feeling of being full after a buffet, which has a different stress on the syllable (`bu-SOG`). This one is `/BU-sog/`.
The pronunciation is key to distinguish it from 'busog' (full). Here, the stress is on the first syllable: /BU-sog/.
