- to make a turbit preparation
Meaning
Lemma.
The verb appears between calcining and precipitating in the list of repeated unsuccessful operations. The edition retains the historical operation-name as turbiting and explains its relation to making a turbit preparation. This establishes a connection with the later Thurbi list without securely identifying all products bearing that name as one modern compound. The passage gives no complete preparation method.
