Some Queer Definitions From Old Dictionaries
The Bailey dictionary of 1074 defines colibus as a humming bind that makes a horse like a whirlwind, feeding on dew, praised for beauty and musklike scent. It also glosses loriot as a bird that cures Yellow jaundice in observers yet dies itself. Delpino’s 1703 leopard entry notes a yellow beast, swift and fierce, with a sweet savor that lures prey. In Yucatan, natives offer pies named food of the soul to departed souls, crusted with yellow corn and filled with chicken and pork, baked under ground and placed by graves, then sometimes eaten by the living after a wait.
