FEAR. 
The following ideograms for the concept of fear show respectively 
an elk, a bear, and a bull surrounded by a cirele of hunters. It would 
seem that the latter were supposed to be afraid to attack the animals 
when at bay in hand-to-hand fight, but stood off in a cirele until they 
had killed the enraged beast, or at least wounded it sufficiently to 
allow of approach without danger.
