After uncovered hands were discovered excessively awkward, players started utilizing a glove, at that point either a glove with webbing between the fingers or a strong oar, trailed by webbing connected to a handle—basically a racquet.

The root elements of each word are literally multiplied together to create the anniversary name. For example, the word sesquicentennial (an anniversary of 150 years) is broken down as sesqui- (1½) x centennial (100 years). Sometimes new anniversary names are coined incorrectly by adding the root elements rather than multiplying them, with unfortunate results.
