Tatoeba + Wiktionary

The shadoof can be traced back 5,400 years, or to about 3500 B. C., and the indications are that it was considered an ancient device even at that remote time. It is much like the old-fashioned well sweep, consisting of a pivoted pole, supported on two uprights, at one end of which is suspended a rope or pole with a bucket at the lower end.
