odumchi: Lol that's what we call it where I come from. We don't have an indigenous name for it, atleast not one that I know of.I thought katapot was more pidgin than it is Igbo. Ask ur elders, I'm sure there's a name for it in Igbo lang. |

Shollypopz: I thought so too but then I asked a few of my older relatives and they all told me that it was called "katapot". In fact, when I was a small kid growing up in my hometown, I didn't know it as anything other than that. The thing with the Igbo language is that things often go by different names depending on what area of Igboland you're in. For example, Odenigbo said that in Anambra it's called "doti" but if you came to my town in Abia and said "doti", I would have no idea what you were talking about. 1 Like |

StarFlux: yes oo, u2? Nooo, thats the HUGE one they used in the war that looks like a bigger version of this one, and its "katapult". Lol. Are you a nigerian in Norway, or a norwegian in a Naija-forum? ...edit: I see now that you were answering someone else about katapot, but hey, still funny that its so much like the big one. |

If JAMB ask me for the synonym of "catapult" without giving me options A - D, I'd write: "Sling" |
