Owersettins:

risp: file, to saw roughly, cut with a grating action.

Bob the saw-fish’s nose may not be as sharp as a new bought bushman (make of saw) but he will roughly cut through that cat’s air pipe swiftly enough.

We are lucky – if we were in a bowl in the world of that cat we’d all have been devoured greedily as its food by now.

It is struggling here, like wading through treacle.
