Source Text and Drawing
This the middle boar's tooth because there are two boar's teeth, one is whole and the other is middle, it is called middle because it is in the middle of the body, and that which the whole tooth does, so does the middle tooth. And in the way that the boar strikes across, in that way one strikes with the sword, that always strikes with the sword across the sword of the companion. And it always throws thrusts and uncovers the companion and always destroys the hands and sometimes the head and the arms. Guard of the middle boar’s tooth, stable.
