Yes, FEET is plural, but the verb
to hew means 'cut down' or 'cut off'.
Oxford Student's Dictionary:
Quote:
|
hew /hju:/ (...) to cut down (a tree etc [Morgoth etc [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ]), e.g. with an axe: hew down a branch .
|
Still, I don't think he cut it off. A severe cut, but not copletely off.
