Sorry for using ISO-2022-JP but it is essential for this message needs to contain some Japanese.

I send this message to the list because not only Seiya Nishizawa may benefit from this:
Webster's Desk Dictionary of the English Language:
toll(1), v.t.: 1. to ring (a large bell) with slow, repeated strokes. 2. to announce or summon by this means. - v.i. 3. to sound with slow repeated strokes, as a bell. - n. 4. the sound of tolling a bell
toll(2), n. 1. a charge paid for some privilege, as for passage over a bridge. 2. a payment for a long-distance telephone call. 3. the extent of loss or suffering resulting from some action or calamity.
tool, n. 1. a hand instrument used in performing or facilitating mechanical operations, as a hammer. 2. the cutting or working part of a machine, as a drill. 3. anything used to accomplish a definite purpose. 4. a person manipulated by another for his or her own ends. - v.t. 5. to equip with tools or machinery. 6. to cut or shape with a tool. - v.i. 7. to work or decorate with a tool. 8. to drive a vehicle.
My somewhat outdated editions of Webster's Desk Dictionary of the English Language and Webster's New Encyclopedic Dictionary do not list "toolkit".
As a rule of thumb, two identical vowels mean a long vovel - this is pretty much the same in Japanese. One transliteration for おおどり （大通り） therefore is "oodori"[1]. Two identical consonants following a vowel indicte a short vowel. One transliteration of the word あっぱく （圧迫） therefore is "appaku". HTH.

I think that it is a little creature, much like a shrew, that spends much of its time seaching for food, its favourite being worms, that spend much of their lives a little underground. The vovel hunts for its prey by placing its long flat nose nose in into the ground and then flicking back strongly with its head.

Ok, I'm beginning to appreciate the lore of the "vovel", but what is a "nose nose"?
Oh, well, as long as it "flicks like a vovel", it doesn't really matter how the nose is implemented, does it?

Two identical noses in a row typically indicate a single long nose.

I have the feeling I've stumbled onto the lost stanza of "Jabberwocky"...

Oh, good. My somewhat outdated edition of Webster's Desk Guide to Rodents doesn't have a listing for "vovel" (it just skips from "vole" straight to "wombat").

You are right in meaning of starting with "oo". But actually it isn't "oodori". The correct transliteration is "oodoori", and it incidentally has two "long vovle" ;-).

Even though I feel the mistake was caused by simple finger slipping, your article was amusing.

FYI, there are a few words to use "oo" for the long vowel.
とおい おおい こおり おおかみ こおろぎ とお とおる
My teacher told me once in elementary school with the mnemonic:
遠くの大きな氷の上を多くの狼とコオロギが十通った とおくのおおきなこおりのうえをおおくのおおかみとこおろぎがとおとおった tooku no ookina koori no ue wo ooku no ookami to koorogi ga too tootta. Many wolves and ten crickets walked on the far away huge ice.
We use "ou" for other words. Sorry for being off topic so much. But I couldn't stand.
