Preceding the above quote:
KGT 93: If heat is used as part of food preparation, the cook is most
likely to {mIQ} (deep-fry) the food. This involves first acquiring {tlhagh}
(animal fat) from any available source and then heating it up so that it
boils (the general word for "boil" is {pub}, but the verb used specifically
to refer to the boiling of fat is {'Im} [render]). After it has been
boiling for a while, the food to be fried is tossed in (sometimes having
been coated in some kind of paste), and it stays there until it has soaked
up as much of the {tlhagh} (fat) as possible.
Related verbs:
{pI'} and {ror} "be fat"
PUN:
A "thrombus" is a blood clot, usually caused by a diet much too rich in
cholesterol.
