question
meaning word-choice
How is arrowhead said?
The word recognized by laypeople is **矢じり**. People simply say 矢の先端, too.

石鏃 is a technical term for "arrowheads made of **stone** " as the kanji 石
suggests. See [this Wikipedia
article](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%9F%B3%E9%8F%83). This 鏃 (on: ソク/ゾク,
kun: やじり) is a single-character kanji for "arrowhead", but this is not a joyo
kanji and most people cannot read it without furigana. Arrowheads made of iron
are specifically called 鉄鏃.
