[Ansteorra-archery] Hold fast!

[James Crouchet]

This is not really an option because SCA rules mandate that HOLD and
*only *HOLD
will be used to stop combat for safety reasons. No other term may be used,

Beyond that, there is already enough confusion from people accidentally
saying hold or words that sound like it. Imagine having ANOTHER word (and
everything that sounds like it) that causes this chaos.

Perhaps the SCA should have found a word that does not have other useful
meanings in combat (hold that line!) and does not sound like dozens of other
useful words (fill that hole!). I can just imagine the calls of ORANGE!
