  • Comment on (A): -, (no botanical term. egg yolk), (nicht botanisch, Eidotter)

    The word is recorded here because of the L lemma.[1] Cf. Meritt's note: "The gloss geolca I take to mean 'yolk', but MICONES, which is preceded by OUIUM (=OPIUM?) means 'poppy'. Perhaps the glossator interpreted OUIUM MICONES as 'egg yolk'."
