mollusque commented on the word agogo
I ran a hand over my brow, and an old man offered me an agogô, a small gilded instrument like a triangle with a bell, which you strike with a little bar. "Go up on the platform," he said. "Play. It'll do you good."
--Umberto Eco, 1988, Foucault's Pendulum, p. 212-213
