Jakobsen, Jakob

✝tøl [tøl], sb., is phonetically more prob. Eng. tool, sb. (cf. the pronunc. "gød" of Eng. good, "føl" of Eng. fool), than O.N. tól, n., tool. Used in pl. tøls, in the special sense of implement for the twisting of ropes (tether) and lines (fishing-lines, esp. hadock-lines) the word is prob. old and springs from O.N. tól.
