mergae, ārum, f. [root marg-, to clear away; cf.: amergô, amelgô, mulgo, amurca], a two-pronged pitchfork, with which corn, when cut, was made into heaps:mergae furculae, quibus acervi frugum fiunt, dictae a volucribus mergis, quia, ut illi se in aquam mergunt, dum pisces persequuntur, sic messores eas in fruges demergunt, ut elevare possint manipulos, Paul. ex Fest, p. 124 Müll.: mergas datus, ut hortum fodiat,
Plaut. Poen. 5, 2, 58:multi mergis, alii pectinibus spicam ipsam legunt,
