Merge senses?

[edit]

The two senses sound like they refer to the same thing; should we merge? Equinox 18:09, 16 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Additional syns/hypos

[edit]

Per this source, additional forms include London white, Dutch white, Flemish white, Hamburgh/Hamburg white, Roman white, body white, Pattison's white, oxychloride of lead, and sulphate of lead. The last two seem pretty clearly chemical terms but may involve a specific form or process. The others are unclear whether they are based on sourcing for especially pure forms or just synonyms of generic white lead. — LlywelynII 05:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
