And thanks for your commentary contribution at
Talk:Slungshot#Another name. I'm creating
heavey to implement your suggestion; sorry it has taken so long -- we can use every new contributor, in spite of the growth since i started editing, over a dozen years back!
I think i read you right in deducing the word derives from heave rather than heavy, and is pronounced with its first syllable sounding like "heave", not like the first syl of "heavy"; i'm gonna count on you to fix it if I'm wrong.
