Historical Definition
Hel is honey.
Meaning
The definition gives a direct identification. It adds no distinction between a natural material and a preparation made from it, nor any particular medical purpose.
Use in the Book
Manna can mean a sweet matter extracted from anything, and Tereniabin is connected with manna or wood-honey. Those related sweet-material terms have broader or different descriptions. Hel’s short gloss should not inherit their origins or claims simply because they share the language of sweetness.
Places to Read
Manna. An aerial dew and, more broadly, sweet extracted matter.
Tereniabin. A manna or wood-honey material described through richness and season.
