I see people all the time talking about the Pummel of their saber...
Pummel as shown below is to hit or strike heavily and repeatedly.
A Pommel (in our hobby) is "The knob on the hilt of an edged weapon such as a sword." (or Lightsaber )
Hope this helps clear up the meaning of the word Pommel vs Pummel
I think it is worth noting that in Middle English they used the verb "to pommel" This may have something to do with people striking others with the pommel of their swords. Which in turn, may have been common to say "to pommel" someone which in our times translated into "to pummel" someone.
So while I get the correlation between the phrases "to pommel" and "to pummel" someone, neither is appropriate on this forum unless maybe you are talking about your latest duel with your buddy.
In short. The "back" end of our sabers are Pommels...not pummels. Please take the time to understand the difference.
