To “know a hawk from a hernshaw” is a metaphor with a curious history. It is a comparison drawn from falcon- ry. “Hernshaw"” is a corruption of “beronshaw,” or young heron, a bird which was a common prey of the fal cons. To know a hawk from a hern- shaw is therefore to be able to distin. guish the falcon from its prey. A fur. ther colloquial corruption crept into the phrase, “to know a hawk from a handsaw.” a form used by Hamlet in one place. Possibly the distinction be. tween a hawk and a Lbernshaw was found not to be strong enough for the purposes of the proverb. Manchester Guardian, . No Death Penalty.
