taw
Marble for shooting
Taw is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, corresponding roughly to the English T.
In the game of marbles, a taw is a large marble used for shooting—the one you flick with your thumb to hit others: He aimed his taw at the cluster in the ring.
To taw animal hides is to convert them to white leather using alum rather than tannin.
