Suet as the contextual reading of Haven

Meaning

An unusual printed noun in the list of animal products formed from food. The supplied edition renders it as suet from the immediately following explanation “or fat,” while retaining the source spelling. It should be presented as that contextual reading rather than confidently normalised into a different German word. Its local importance is concrete: fatty bodily material belongs to the remarkable variety the narrator derives from one kind of grass, herb or fruit.
