  n 
  'ci 
  (ko

  , 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  word 
  lco 
  n 
  de, 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  plum; 
  ci, 
  

   "seeds 
  "). 
  The 
  appliances 
  were 
  few 
  and 
  simple 
  — 
  a 
  wooden 
  bowl 
  and 
  

   five 
  plum 
  stones. 
  Two 
  played 
  at 
  a 
  time. 
  First, 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  counts 
  

   that 
  should 
  constitute 
  the 
  game 
  

   was 
  determined 
  — 
  50 
  or 
  100 
  

   points. 
  Sticks 
  were 
  used 
  for 
  

   keeping 
  tally. 
  The 
  plum 
  stones 
  

   were 
  "burned" 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  show 
  

   certain 
  forms. 
  Two 
  on 
  one 
  side 
  

   had 
  moons, 
  two 
  on 
  one 
  side 
  had 
  

   stars; 
  there 
  were 
  three 
  black 
  

   sides 
  and 
  three 
  white 
  sides. 
  

   The 
  bowl 
  containing 
  the 
  plum 
  

   stones 
  was 
  tossed 
  and 
  the 
  com- 
  

   binations 
  of 
  the 
  stones 
  as 
  they 
  

   fell 
  had 
  certain 
  values. 
  These 
  

   counts 
  were 
  as 
  follows: 
  

  

  Two 
  moons 
  and 
  3 
  black 
  

   counted 
  5 
  if 
  the 
  game 
  was 
  50, 
  

   and 
  10 
  if 
  the 
  game 
  was 
  100. 
  

  

  Two 
  moons 
  and 
  3 
  white, 
  2 
  

   stars 
  and 
  3 
  black, 
  and 
  2 
  stars 
  

   and 
  3 
  white 
  had 
  the 
  same 
  

   count 
  as 
  the 
  above. 
  These 
  

   counts 
  were 
  called 
  xu'be, 
  and 
  

   whoever 
  tossed 
  and 
  got 
  any 
  

   of 
  these 
  throws 
  might 
  keep 
  on 
  

   tossing 
  so 
  long 
  as 
  she 
  could 
  

   make 
  xu'be.

  game 
  of

  and 
  

   2 
  in 
  a 
  game 
  of

  two 
  to 
  watch 
  and 
  guess.
