Stop talking about harrows! My 9 yr old son knocked his front tooth out on one up my allotment last week and I am still traumatised. It was harrowing!

I take the point, but many claim an etymological connection between hearg and harrow:

even though there appears to be a closer old english match in 'hearwa'

Also note relation to 'hearse'.
Eeeh, I love a bit of etymology, me!
