5) [Nick65765] 7-6-2012(14): I cant believe i didnt see this before …………………………………………………….. ITS A PICTOGRAPH OF A TOOTH!!! …a front tooth thats white as rice, wedged into the upper gum to stop it moving and the shovel primitive is the shape of the tooth. …you dont need much imagination to picture this!!……..UPDATE: the stop primitive can even mean foot of the tooth (like opposite to head) thus root of the tooth.
