Historical Definition
Hadid is iron.
Meaning
The definition supplies one metal identification and no qualifying preparation, grade or source. The unfamiliar name should not imply a distinct compound merely because it appears alongside more elaborate chymical vocabulary.
Use in the Book
Edir allows steel or iron, while Calx Martis names a crocus of steel or iron. Those entries distinguish a broader pair of material names from a prepared form. Hadid itself remains the direct identification with iron.
Places to Read
