Speculation, does the sigil -> higil mutation have any significance? In other words, if -higil means 'of the neck' then does a knife ending in -higil imply 'throat cutter'?
No. higil = sigil. Just a linguistic mutation due to the structure of the compound. Avorhigil quite literally means Fast Knife (or Fast Necklace, if you prefer ).
