Note 1 — The Wicked King
H. (Henry) Parker translation
Sillu, “Hopscotch,” a game omitted from my account of village games in Ancient Ceylon. I have seen boys playing a form of Hopscotch which may be this one. I do not understand the reference to “dragging” the counters home after it, unless the meaning is “carrying.” The Sinhalese verb used is adinawā, which is sometimes employed with this other meaning. ↑
