Ahle

The German word "Ahle" is a noun that refers to a pricking or awl tool used for making holes, especially in leather or wood.

• The word itself is not composed of smaller words.
• It specifically denotes a pointed tool used for piercing or puncturing.

Similar words:

• "Stechahle" (a similar type of awl)
• "Bohrer" (drill, for making holes but mechanically different)
• "Nadel" (needle, thinner and used for sewing)

Differences:

• "Ahle" is manual and specifically designed for making small holes by puncturing.
• "Bohrer" refers to a drill, generally for larger holes and often powered.
• "Nadel" is for sewing, has an eye for thread, and is thinner/finer than an Ahle.
