"When they chew their cud, they regurgitate [spit up] some food to
rechew it, and all this gas comes out." The average cow expels 600 liters of methane a day, climate researchers report.
But even ruminants must regurgitate and
rechew their cud several times in order for rumen microbes to break down the cullulose in grass.
After consuming a quantity of feed, the ruminant animal regurgitates solid food from the rumen back up to the mouth, and
rechews the bolus.
(18) Hamanns Schriften 4:59-60: "I have called this supernatural proof of the human origin of language a `Platonic' one because it begins with the analogical term of art Besonnenheit, as a `single and illuminating spark' of the complete system, and returns at the end to a Greek synonymy [that is, logos]; and because the Platonists
rechewed ad nauseam the logos endiathetos or enthumematikos and logos prophorikos, the inner and outer word, like the Swedish goblin-seer [that is, Swedenborg] ab intra ad extra."
On close observation, it became clear that the vomitus was actually
rechewed food, which the child alternately ejected or reswallowed.
