         DefinitionShort: white fluid secreted by women and female mammals for nourishment of their young; also used as food for humans

         Glosses: milk

         Comments: The term γάλα may refer to any type of milk, whether produced by humans or by certain domesticated animals, for example, cow, sheep, goat, camel.|In a number of languages two distinct terms are used for milk, one identifying the human milk and another term specifying milk from animals. In the context of {S:04600300200002} it is probably the latter reference which is important, though the passage is highly figurative and the emphasis is upon food for babies.{N:001}
