         DefinitionShort: the aromatic resin of certain bushes

         Glosses: myrrh

         Comments: Myrrh was used as one of the ingredients involved in the process of embalming a corpse. Most translators borrow a term for myrrh and then use some kind of marginal note to explain that myrrh was a valuable aromatic substance often used in preserving a corpse. See {D:6.204}.
