halma

/ ˈhælmə /

noun

Origin of halma¹

C19: from Greek halma leap, from hallesthai to leap

I must continue my normal life, I must play Halma with my mother, and slang the gardeners if they are lazy.

Coming near the wire for the first time, Halma took the lead, and to make the story short, held it easily to the end.

The present position in the challenge for the World's Halma Championship is this.

A Halma man, with an inborn taste for machinery, had long pined to leave the gathering of pine-apples to others.

As a crowning dissipation, they all sat down to play progressive halma, with milk-chocolate for prizes.
