gemmi'
Final residue of coconut milk (in making oil).
Most of it collects on the bottom of the pot when coconut milk is cooked down to oil. Usually the milk is put aside for at least one night to let the oil separate from the water. If this oil is boiled down further the gemmi' is almost tasteless. If it is cooked right after squeezing the gemmi' is sweet. For making a viand it is seasoned with salt and spices.
Ekka gemmi' isellankun subey ne sinā'.
My oil has much residue; it has to be sieved.
Enna'un gemmi' iyan hinangte la'uk.
Store that residue; we will use it for viand.
