@Surjection Does the stick really "clank"? That's a metallic sound, e.g. a metal pipe, not a wooden stick. Equinox 08:38, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

kalahtaa does usually refer to a metallic clank, but I think it also has another meaning, something like the hollow sound made by two pieces of firewood hit against each other which we would be missing (and which would be the more fitting translation here). — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 09:26, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
