Use
After wheat was harvested the wheat was scattered on the floor. With two hands, grasping the longer lighter stick, (hand staff or halve). You swing the shorter stick, (beater) over your head and shoulder as if chopping wood and pound the wheat, separating the wheat berry and the chaff or hull. The terminology for this action is called threshing. After the threshing was completed the wheat berry and the hull would have to be winnowed to separate the hull from the berry.
