 philopena
 有雙核的胡桃

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Phil·o·pe·na n.  A present or gift which is made as a forfeit in a social game that is played in various ways; also, the game itself. [Written also fillipeen and phillippine.]
 Note: ☞ One of the ways may be stated as follows: A person finding a nut with two kernels eats one, and gives the other to a person of the opposite sex, and then whichever says philopena first at the next meeting wins the present.  The name is also applied to the kernels eaten.
