词汇	pike
词源	pike. The pike takes its name from its pike, or pointed head. After Christ’s crucifixion all fishes but the pike were supposed to have dived under the water in terror.

Thus parts of the crucifixion are said to be recognizable on a pike’s head, especially the cross, three nails, and a sword.
