• Synonym矛ほこNeutral「矛」 is the native Japanese word for an ancient long-shafted weapon with a bladed tip; it sounds more archaic than the loanword 「スピア」.
• Synonym槍やりNeutral「槍」 is the everyday word for a long thrusting spear and the usual choice in daily use; 「スピア」 is a loanword heard mainly in games and brand names.

For an ordinary spear, 「槍」 is the default, and the javelin event is 「やり投げ」. Use 「矛」 or 「戈」 for ancient weapons in historical contexts. Keep 「スピア」 for games, weapon names and brands.
