If you don't have one, now is a good time to get a copy of the Websters 3rd International dictionary.
Oh hell, you should have made him work for it.
We answered that!
The part on the tip of a bow is just the tip of the bow, the frog is the par that adjusts the tension.
No body paints with a frog!
I think you have that a bit messed up and some of the descriptions are bit unclear.
I believe a frog has noth> Also the wedge shape of a train rail switch, where one rail crosses another
Probably explains it other uses as well.
Thanks to all who attempted to answer my question. TWS

No! Quebecois is another name for a frog.
None of them look like a frog. Bet there's something else.
They could have called them Newts. :o)
If it wasn't, no one would recognize it.
Seems I read somewhere it is called a frog because it is something which is lodged in the throat, i.e. "a frog in the throat". Probably a frog is just a lump of something, be it a wedge, a hoof, or a wad of snot.

Or, more likely, the croak emitting from someone's mouth was playfully attributed to an animal that croaks being lodged in the throat. Like a frog.

Kind of like arguing the results of a Rorshach test. The comparison characteristic just has to remind someone - it's not designed to resemble an animal.
