The vocs are: zulalun albiumin albumin danbai lavan bilok; in which "dan" is Chinese for "egg", "bilok" sounds like the Russian for "white" with "-ok" added, and "lavan", though Hindi, sounds suspiciously like the Hebrew for "white". I know German nutrition labels say "Eiweiß" for "protein", but to me they are different: egg white is a part of an egg, albumin is a protein in egg white, and there are other proteins, such as myosin. So what words should we use to distinguish them? Also, the def in the gimste appears to be missing x3: x1 is a quantity of protein/albumin of type x2 composed of amino acids (sequence/jo'u). phma -- .i toljundi do .ibabo mi'afra tu'a do .ibabo damba do .ibabo do jinga .icu'u la ma'atman.
