In Russian, there is the concept of polysemantic words, homonyms. Scythe is one of those words that sound and spell the same, but may have several meanings. There is also a polysemy - the term has several meanings of a general meaning. In this case, as an example, we can also consider the meaning of the word “braid” - a hairstyle and an agricultural tool, which have a similar feature, namely elongation.
Sand spit
A sand spit is a piece of land that crashes into a body of water: a river, sea or lake. It should be made of rock, sand deposits, clay layers. Sometimes the braid is formed under the influence of a volcanic eruption, in this case this formation consists of geological rocks of volcanic origin.
The spit has a wedge-shaped and flat relief. A strip of land is often created by currents and winds. Under the influence of these natural forces, alluvial rocks are formed, which first form shallows. These sites gradually join the coastline. Scythe can be created artificially, in bulk as a result of human activity.
Russia has many full-flowing rivers and large lakes, washed by three oceans. Such a landscape formation as a sand spit is not a rare occurrence at all. The most famous are the Curonian Spit in the Baltic Sea, the Sudzhuk Spit of the Black Sea, and the Russian Cat Spit in the Bering Sea. Due to their natural beauty, these land areas are most often used as objects of tourism and recreation.
Stress
If we talk about the correct stress in this noun, it is important to know that in the meaning of “shallow” in the form of an accusative case, the stressed vowel is -U-: go for the braid, see the braid for the island.
In the meaning of "hairstyle", the vowel -O- will be stressed: remove the scythe, weave the scythe. If the pretext FOR is added, the emphasis is transferred: yank the braid.
Hair
There is another meaning of the word. A braid is a special type of weaving of strands when hair is laid in a hairstyle. Its popularity lies in the possibility of weaving on hair of different lengths and structures. There are simple types of weaving, in three parts. And there are especially intricate, elaborate styling, the construction of which can take more than one hour.
There is an ancient belief that women's energy and spiritual wealth lies in long well-groomed hair. They should be braided tight so that not a single hair is lost, otherwise you can lose the mysterious power. Previously, women loosened their hair only in special cases when it was necessary to exert a powerful influence on someone.
Hair braided was an integral part of the image of a Russian girl. Now, in times of emancipation, quite often you can see loose hair in women. However, the most universal hairstyle at all times was considered to be the braid. Braided hair is less affected by the urban environment.
Scythe is a word that is interpreted in several senses. For example, there is also an agricultural tool called a scythe.
In this diversity, the greatness of the Russian language is manifested, so difficult to learn, but capacious and colorful.
