3096. Who represent the saliva of the mouth
It was observed that just above the head are those who represent the saliva of the mouth. They speak quietly in a somewhat forked manner, as the saliva of the palate moves over the tongue, hence the forked manner of speech. They serve in instructing others, as the saliva does in digesting those elements that are received into the mouth. 1748, 8 Sept.
3096. [THEY] WHO HAVE REFERENCE [referuntur] TO THE SALIVA OF THE MOUTH.
It was observed that nearly above the head are they who have reference to the saliva of the mouth: they speak tacitly with a sort of splitting [of speech], the saliva of the palate moving itself above the tongue: hence is the splitting of [their] speech. They serve to instruct others, just as the saliva to digest what is received into the mouth. - 1748, September 8.
3096. Qui ad salivas oris referuntur
Observatum quod prope supra caput sint ii qui ad salivam oris referendi, loquuntur tacite cum quadam bifidatione, movente se saliva palati supra linguam, inde bifidatio loquelae, inserviunt aliis instruendis, sicut saliva digerendis iis, quae in os recipiuntur. 1748, 8 Sept.
