The number of tines (also written tynes) on tools varies widely -- a pitchfork may have just two, a garden fork may have four, and a rake or harrow many. Tines may be blunt, such as those on a fork used as an eating utensil; or sharp, as on a pitchfork; or even barbed, as on a trident. The terms "tine '' and "prong '' are mostly interchangeable. A tooth of a comb is a tine.
