At a Glance

The word. Two alternative names for cohobation.

In the book. Read the detailed entry before interpreting either form in a passage.

A place to read. The historical definition below, 1650 dictionary, unnumbered definition page 16; facsimile PDF page 344.

Historical Definition

Cohopb, or Cohop, is the same as cohobation.

Meaning

The entry is a cross-reference rather than a second account of the process. Its two spellings lead to Cohobatio, where a liquid is repeatedly drawn from a body and returned to it. The unusual final b in Cohopb belongs to the printed headword; it should remain searchable alongside the shorter Cohop.

Use in the Book

Read the detailed entry before interpreting either form in a passage. The dictionary supplies no separate substance, vessel or product under this heading, so the variant spelling does not justify creating an additional operation.

Places to Read

Cohobatio. Repeated distillation involving the return of the drawn liquid to its source body.
