         DefinitionShort: the substance resulting from the slow oxidation of metals (rust in the case of iron and tarnish in the case of gold and silver)

         Glosses: ['rust', 'tarnish']

         Comments: Pure gold is not affected significantly by oxidation, but much of the gold of the ancient world was not pure, and therefore oxidation and resulting tarnish did take place. However, in most languages it is inappropriate to speak of ‘rust’ as occurring with gold and silver. If there is no satisfactory term to indicate the deterioration in gold and silver resulting in extreme tarnish, it may be possible to translate {S:05900500300020} as ‘your gold and silver will be ruined and this will serve as a witness against you.’
