plaything: usu. pl.:
1. jŏcŭli, orum (v. rare): the p.s which the girl used to amuse herself with, quibus ea virgo j. delectabatur, Vitr. 4, 1, 9.
2. collect. lusûs instrūmentum; instrūmentum lusōrium (as pila lusoria is a ball to play with, Plin. 7, 56, 57 § 205): v.IMPLEMENT . Phr.: to give children ivory letters as p.s, (pueris) eburneas litterarum formas in lusum offerre, Quint. 1, 1, 26. (Crepundia, orum, in this sense is more than doubtful: in Pl. Cist. 4, 1, 4, and in Cic. Br. 91, init., it denotes an amulet, ring, or other mark of identification in an infant.)
