Historical Definition

Alusar is manna.

Meaning

The definition provides an equivalence without identifying a source, locality or preparation. Its proper use is as a route into Manna, where the dictionary gives further context. Do not infer a particular plant product or atmospheric substance from this name alone: the short entry has not made that distinction. Retaining Alusar in the spelling index allows a reader to find the related discussion without silently replacing the historical word in a quoted text.

Places to Read

Manna. An aerial dew and, more broadly, sweet extracted matter.
