rule noun (CONTROL)

lota noun (POLITICIAN)

A politician with a tendency of changing political loyalties [or mind!]. This definition comes from the fact that if tilted on its side, a lota (vessel) can easily roll from side to side

rule noun (INSTRUCTION)

an accepted principle or instruction that states the way things are or should be done, and tells you what you are allowed or are not allowed to do
