Jonas Richter replied to the topic Teetotums and spinning dice in the discussion
History of Games and Play on Humanities Commons 5 years, 4 months agoYes, the usual assumption is that the word “teetotum” or other early forms “tetotum” & “T totum” derive from the letter T shown on one of the spinning die’s faces being put in front of “totum”. The T would originally have been for “totum” (the whole). A quote by Strutt in 1801 demonstrates that letters on the dice/spinners represented English…[Read more]

History of Games and Play on Humanities Commons 5 years, 4 months agoThat’s a very plausible assumption. Could TEE mean the letter T on the totum to designate “take”?

Digital Humanists on Humanities Commons 5 years, 4 months agoNational web spheres include content that resides within geographically non-specific domains, such as .com or .org.

Jonas Richter started the topic Teetotums and spinning dice in the discussion
