/ɡ̤ómarara/
- noun , class(5)
- synonyms: koma
- dialects/origins: Zezuru
- English translation
- cancer
- Formerly, any malignant growth, esp. one attended with great pain and ulceration, with cachexia and progressive emaciation. It was so called, perhaps, from the great veins which surround it, compared by the ancients to the claws of a crab. The term is now restricted to such a growth made up of aggregations of epithelial cells, either without support or embedded in the meshes of a trabecular framework.
