1 obol = ...tO BOLivia...

2 tool = 'loot' reversed i.e. lifted

[vegasmad]

2. tool - loot (plunder) reversed. tool - instrument.

[jackthehat]

Tool is an instrument.............it is loot (plunder) backwards.

[bibblebub]

(and instrument is a synonym for tool)

thanks for answers. i must admit i was thinking instrumental as in a music sense and also thinking of sth to do with lifting . never heard of an obol before now. just googled it and apparently its a silver coin from ancient greece - cheers everybody
