Plohmble, plumble, plombol? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/reference-desk/threads/50199 roruna I recently watched Terry Jones' Barbarians documentary series, which is amazing and fascinating and gave me lots of really good ideas but I'm having a slight problem. During the segment about the Dacians, they showed some artifacts, one was this lead heart-shaped thing that is hung from a string and used in architecture to make straight lines. So my problem is this: I don't know how to spell the name of this thing so I can't research it. Has anyone else seen the documentary or know what I'm talking about?
