• [^1]: the underlying sense of this is something staying in place often in a somewhat negative way: words stuck in throat; following too close behind, failing to break through, getting stuck during a race. (It also has non-negative senses.) It makes more sense now that we've read "the long sharp edge of your sword" as the subject of the verb, not the object.
• Parallel construction, two targets, present in German
• organization:
