This is a technique used by nomadic horse-archers, imported by Persia. It dates way back to the wars Persia had with various steppes peoples long before any islam ruined Persia. 71.29.21.52 (talk) 21:43, 4 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Also, the name has a much more natural etymology in Chinese than Arabic. 71.29.21.52 (talk) 21:46, 4 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Xenophobia aside, the entire point of the article is that nobody knows what it was. Unless you have some secret info you'd like to share? 2607:FEA8:3EE2:3600:CFE:EB21:A545:8B24 (talk) 17:56, 2 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
