         DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: to throw a sickle) to begin to harvest a crop by cutting ripe grain with a sickle

         Glosses: ['to use a sickle', 'to swing a sickle', 'to begin to harvest']

         Comments: In {S:06601401600018} and {S:06601401900012} this idiom occurs in a figurative context, and therefore it may be necessary in some languages to speak of ‘harvesting’ rather than using a phrase which mentions the literal use of a sickle.
