yelk

The word yelk is sometimes written yolk and pronounced yoke.

But yelk is the most correct orthography, from the Saxon gealkwe; and in this country, it is the general pronunciation.

Eggs look very prettily cooked in this way, the yelk being just visible through the white.

The chalaza, we see, is twisted at each pole of the yelk-globe, until it resembles a piece of twine: what is the meaning of this?

Some prefer the yelk and white of the egg beaten separately.
