Historical Definition
Iumnizum is leaven or ferment.
Meaning
The pairing of leaven and ferment gives the reader two routes to the same technical category. Neither word requires the referent to be a loaf or a familiar baking ingredient. The fuller Fermentum entry defines a fixed matter through its power to bring another matter to its own nature and fixity.
Use in the Book
Kamir is another direct name for ferment. Read these short entries with Fermentum rather than assigning a different substance to each unfamiliar spelling.
Places to Read
