* ''tokaina'' — a citrus fruit widely grown in the East and Northeast with a tart grapefruit-like taste, rarely (if ever) eaten on its own but very commonly used as a seasoning and flavour additive. It has a similar taste to its tropical relative, ''lenelkis'', but is much larger, with an uneven skin, and tolerates frost fairly well. In the tropical areas of the Inquisition it is therefore better known as ''naleiyūtei lenelkis'' (Eastern citron) or ''jålkhlenelkis'' (cold citron).<br/>Fruiting ''tokaina'' trees give off a very strong scent, which is a distinctive trait of late autumn in many Eastern and Northeastern cities - Lātsunāki Park in central Cami is particularly known for its scentful ''tokaina'' trees. | * ''tokaina'' — a citrus fruit widely grown in the East and Northeast with a tart grapefruit-like taste, rarely (if ever) eaten on its own but very commonly used as a seasoning and flavour additive.
