ajonje

/aˈxonxe/

noun, masculine/aˈxonxe/plural: ajonjes

birdlime; a plant, Andryala ragusina

Unknown, identical to Catalan llonja, alonja (“vegetal matter to make birdlime when mixed with resinous substrate”). Hardly related to ajonjolí since this Arabism lacks in Catalan and the composite plant, to which the meaning of birdlime is secondary, has no commonality with sesame. Latin axungia (“lard”) has other descendants.
