nirukta (2.6)
"on every strip of wood twanged the well-strung string: thence the men-eating birds flew" (RV 10.94.9)
on every strip of wood i.e on every bone. vrksa ( tree ) is (so called ) from being cut down. twanged the well strung string, i.e it makes a sharp ringing sound. from thence birds fly in order to eat men. the word 'vih' is a synonym of bird and is derived from 'vi' meaning to go. morover it is a synonym of arrow also from the same root.
[ thus in vedas woods are symbolism for bones of body.]
