ludus="prank"

The student ran about the yard distributing many a ludus.

@lucifargundam I'm idly wondering if our word 'ludiek' comes from there. A 'ludieke actie' is some sort of action/event where something funny/outrageous/spontaneous is done. A flash mob event could be a ludieke actie. Mm, I should check up the etymology of that word.

@lucifargundam That was easy. :P
