	Atlatl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The atlatl (pronounced ät-lät-ŭl or more authentically with two syllables ['a.tɬatɬ]), or "spear thrower", is a tool that uses leverage to achieve greater velocity in spear-throwing, and includes a bearing surface which allows the user to temporarily store elastic energy during the throw.
		It is held near the end farthest from the cup, and the spear is thrown by the action of the upper arm and wrist.
		The word atlatl is derived from a Nahuatl (the Aztec language) word for "water thrower," as it was most commonly used for fishing.
