Usage notes
The word eļ (“****”) is in one instance indicated as meaning oil (in the compound "almond oil"), however, with a different inflectional type (type 103 – with consonant shift – lengthening of the stem consonant different from inflection of the "****" sense of the word eļ.) However, eļļõ of the sieldõ type seems to be a much more prevalent word to refer to oil.
