The word is found under cumin in the List of herbs and minerals in Ayurveda but almost nowhere else on the Internet. I tried to switch the "u" and "g" in the word to get "Cholegauge" and found among others this web page through Google about liver complaints, also about India. What is the word meant to be? The author of the Wikipedia page (and maybe the source it was copied from?) made several letter transposition mistakes like "heammorhage" instead of "haemmorhage", but I can't figure out what "Cholegague" is supposed to be. It might not be a Western medical word at all ... Graham87 07:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
How are the Russian noun Starover (an Old Believer aka Old Ritualist aka Raskolnik) and the adjective staryĭ, "old," spelled in the Cyrillic alphabet? Thanks, anon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.18.17.131 (talk) 16:28, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
