         DefinitionShort: (a diminutive derivative of {L:κέρας}[a] ‘horn,’ {D:8.17}) the pod of the carob tree (which closely resembles a small horn)

         Glosses: carob pod

         Comments: Carob pods were commonly used for fattening swine and were employed as an article of food by poor people. In translating {S:04201501600012} it is not necessary, however, to identify specifically carob pods. In most languages some such expression as ‘edible pods’ is probably more satisfactory, since carob trees are unlikely to be known.
