      والرائب أبرد من الماست كثيرًا وأسرع نزولًا وأشدّ تطفئةً وأكثر نفخًا وأوفق للمعدة الحارّة والمحرورين غير أنّه رديء للمعصب وللمعلل الباردة.
      Sour milk is colder then yoghurt by much and faster in descending, sharper in extinguishing, more flatulent, and more facilitative for the hot stomach and those suffering from hot disposition; but it is bad for the nerves and cold ailments.
