to bring back, report, refer, from re- + ferre to
carry -- more at BEAR ...

symbolon, from Greek, token, sign; in other senses
from Latin symbolum token, sign, symbol, from Greek
symbolon, literally, token of identity verified by

together, compare, from syn- + ballein to throw --

C-22 sequel, Closing Time ...
