Hmm. If we're getting into something beside English, I can come with
Latin. How about any of these:
arma iacta--thrown weapons
iaculum--thrown item in general
telum iactum--similar to arma iacta above, except that "telum" is
generic for a missle weapon (spear, ax, dart, knife, etc.). "Arma
Iacta" could be ANY thrown weapon, includig some that are difficult to
throw because of their size (i.e., a catapult) <snicker>
telum argentum--silver thrown weapon
telum tauri --bull's thrown weapon
telum cum labriscis--thrown weapon with (wild) vines
telum et labrusca -- thrown weapon and (wild) vine
telum labruscatum, (tela labruscata)--vined thrown weapon(s) (I'm
guessing at the grammar on this one.)
If anyone has an ideas they might like translated to Latin, I can take
a try at that, too.
