# fresh bowstrings

Bowstrings were often made from parts of an animal, often from the tendons. The words "fresh bowstrings" refer to those that come from a freshly slaughtered animal that have not yet dried.

# that have not been dried

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "that have not yet dried" or "that are not dry yet" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
