Is that a Buddhist reference?

Last _{or are we talking about a gyroscope?} Post

[Swatopluk]

Well, on the one hand it is a song allusion but it also aims at the LPWB and quite directly.
Not originally religious but later effectively made that. Not Buddhist.
Wrong preposition for the gyroscope.
And (repeating my earliest hint): Although it sounds like it you can't ride it (that hint is not very helpful in finding the word though).

Ophanim comes to mind, but I doubt the word is this transparent.

Are we looking for a "standard" English word, or an adopted one?

I shall leave Swato to skirt around that one.

Last _{uninformative} Post

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Mmm.. so we aren't talking about a gyroscope but the gyroscope, one that you can't ride...

Last _{so that's off the table} Post

[Swatopluk]

Heh, most common English words are adopted (blame those Frenchies)
Greek in origin but looking ordinary enough (and close to something one could ride).

Last _{also found in the spirograph} Post

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Spirographs have circles and spirals.

Last _{there is rotation but far from a gyroscope} Post

[Aggie]

I'm thinking it's similar to 'chariot'.


BTW, what has Pachy been up to these days?

[Swatopluk]

No chariot, and the spirograph does not actually produce spirals but... And by what means?
Another old hint: Introduced by someone later often mistaken (and thus depicted) as a king and abandoned by a guy who had to defend his mother against charges that could have meant her death.

Last _{gear up!} Post

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

That sounds like a torture device...

Last _{what do the pandaphants eat?} Post

[Aggie]

Hmmm.... wonder if I should take a gamble on this one? Nah, roulette is not of Greek origin.


Last _{maybe I should give up and go for an epic ride on my bicycle, but make sure to leave my Bic lighter at home - it's a fire hazard} Post

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

I have less teef now!

Last Post

[Swatopluk]

Agujim is close and used the solid ridable one.
Now go for the similar abstract that cannot be ridden (except off )

Last Post

[Aggie]

In protest, let me state that perhaps you aren't following my clues closely enough. Bicycle is not the entire sentence there.



Last _{no time for giving clues, let someone else take it} Post

[Swatopluk]

Hey, it's still me who has the word!
Spit it out before you refuse to give a new one or you will get bound by the horse shackle.
