Explanation:
Outdoor games used to be known with regional names. Where I grew up, seesaw/teeter-totter was "shilur/shilurs/shilurth". It is also found as "shilor" in the dictionary. Whereas hopscotch involved precise kicking of a small, flat, round piece of tile into drawn boxes, so we called it "(luajmë) petash".

My 2 cents :)
