Antlers

Horns of a deer. The frontal protuberance present the first year is a bo et; the second year it grows into a stem or snag; the third year one front branch appears (brow antler); another branch is added the fourth year (bes, or bay-antler); a large third branch appears above these the fifth year (antler royal); the sixth year the top becomes palmate, or has several prongs that grow into tines, seven at most; this is the antler surroyal, or crown antler. The main stem is the beam, the branches are tines.
