Here is how the old Norwegians explained the difference to me.

Hookaroon is a woods tool with a tip shape that made pulling and moving logs around, it holds better. Most times then it was on the back of their limbing axe.



Pickaroon was a mill tool for sorting boards or pulling slabs.

That sounds like you could be on to something.   That is the best explanation I have heard so far.
