92. The similar _Italian_ game begins, "Galota, galota," whence, no doubt, our "_Hulgul_," Gianandrea, No. 20.--_Ancient Greek_, Scholiast to Aristophanes, Plut. 1057, #posa en chersin echô#; "How many have I in my hands?" Suidas (10th century), Lexicon, under #paidia#, writes: "There is a game of the following character among the Athenians: Having taken up a number of nuts and holding out his hand, one asks, 'How many have I?' And if [the other] guesses the number, he takes as many as he has in his hand; but if he fails to guess, he loses as many as the asker holds in his hand."--_Latin_, given by Helenius Acron (4th century), "quot in sunt?" See Marin, note to preceding game.--_German_, Meier, p. 123, "Wie viel sollen Kerner in meiner Hand sein?" Handelmann, p. 35, etc. 93. A child rests his head in the lap of another, while a third claps the back of the first, keeping time to the words of the rhyme, and finally raises a certain number of fingers; if the kneeling child can guess the number, he takes the other's place.--_Spanish_, Marin, i. 51, No. 81. The rhyme closely resembles the English given in the text.--_Italian_, Imbriani, No. 30, where the question is, "How many horns do I hold up?"--_German_, Meier, pp. 135, 136, where it is asked, "Wie viel Hörner hat der Bock?" This allusion to the goat (as a leaping animal) refers to the usual practice of riding on the back of the stooping child while putting the question.--_German_, Rochholz, p. 434.--_Dutch_, Hor. Belg., vi. 182. The formulas differ. Tylor, Primitive Culture, i. 67. The Latin formula of Petronius is curiously translated by F. Nodot, A.D. 1694: "Étant à cheval sur luy, il luy donna plusieurs coups du plat de la main sur les épaules, disant tout haut en riant, Quatre cornes dans un sac, combien font-ils? ce jeu fini," etc. Nodot remarks of his free translation, that it is still a boys' game in France. 94. Halliwell, Pop. Rh., p. 116, "Handy-Dandy."--_German_ (Austria), Vernaleken, p. 41. The formula is the exact counterpart of the English: "Windle, wandle, in welchen Handle, oben oder unt?" Handelmann, p. 35 (Schleswig-Holstein), "Where dwells the smith? Above or below?"--_Spanish_, Marin, p. 50, No. 77. 95. _German_, Meier, p. 124, "Under which finger sits the hare?"
