Usage notes
- Although most often the substance counted is implicit, in PY Fr 1223 and Fr 1240 it is explicitely called ๐๐จ๐บ (e-ra-wo, โolive oilโ), with Fr 1223 even clarifying ๐ธ๐๐ฉ๐ (we-a-re-pe, โfor anointingโ), and in Fr 1225 it is called ๐๐ซ๐ (a-ro-pa, โointmentโ). It came in different scents, attestedly sage or rose, and great amounts of it seem to have been used during rituals.
