• 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.
