Savorados; marrowbone

Meaning

Lemma.

Savorados is the regional marrowbone word Brotteaux introduces through the Sibyl of Panzoust. He explicitly glosses it as a savoury os médullaire and links her country to his own. The literary allusion, identified by the supplied notes as Rabelais, grows from the mother’s soup rather than interrupting it with an abstract lesson. Her concern is whether reusing the same bone is stinginess; his reply emphasises poverty even in a prophetess, leading to his reflections on prediction and happiness.
