Yumentous

Yumentous: adjective. Describing something that smells like egg yolk urine. This word is obviously very similar to the word jumentous, which refers to something that smells like horse urine, but there is a clear difference (the "s" sound in yumentous is significantly longer than the "s" sound in jumentous). One might ask what egg yolk urine is, but I'm afraid that that is a story for another time.
