At a Glance
The word. A historical name identifying urine.
A place to read. The historical definition below, 1650 dictionary, unnumbered definition page 10; facsimile PDF page 338.
Historical Definition
Baul is urine.
Meaning
The equation is straightforward and should remain so. Its chief editorial value is to make an unfamiliar name recognizable in a passage about bodily materials. The entry says nothing about the person or animal producing it, its condition, or whether it has been further treated. Those details should be taken from the particular passage rather than added to the headword.
Compare Anodus for an account of what the kidneys separate from nourishment. The relation is bodily and thematic; it does not make every separated substance identical with Baul.
Places to Read
Anodus. A bodily product defined through renal separation.
