Jonas Richter replied to the topic Teetotums and spinning dice in the discussion

Jonas Richter started the topic Teetotums and spinning dice in the discussion
History of Games and Play on Humanities Commons 5 years, 4 months agoMy impression is that the word “(tee)totum” initially will have referred to a randomizer for a put & take game, taking its name from one of outcomes of a die roll/ spin: totum = (take the) whole. The word seems to have taken on the more general meaning of a spinning die, regardless of whether its side show letters for put & take or numbers or…[Read more]
