Ash or liquid mixed with ash is also called "lix[a]"; for even now that type is called [[lixivus|lexivus]]. Varro de Vita Populi Romani Book I: "therefore they made soaked/boiled bread from emmer and cold water"}} 

=====Usage notes=====
Since manuscripts of Nonius read "lix etiam cinis...", some dictionaries treat {{m|la|lix|t=lye}} as a distinct noun: however, Lindsay 1891, citing Onions, argues that "lix etiam" is merely a corruption of "lixaetiam", i.e. "lixa etiam".<ref>{{cite-journal|last=Lindsay|first=W.
