| has gloss | (noun) the inner membrane of embryos in higher vertebrates (especially when covering the head at birth) veil, embryonic membrane, caul |
| has gloss | eng: A caul (, literally, "head helmet") is a thin, filmy membrane, the amnion, that covers or partly covers the newborn mammal immediately after birth. Obstetrics To be "born in the caul" simply means a child is born with the amniotic sac or membrane still intact around the body. When a baby is born in the caul, the sac balloons out at birth, covering the baby's face and body as he or she emerges from the mother. The baby is in no danger of drowning, as he is still being fed nutrients and oxygen through the umbilical cord, and will not take its first breath until the face emerges from the fluid contained in the caul. The caul is harmless and is easily removed by the doctor or midwife. A child born in this way is known as a caulbearer. |

| has gloss | fin: Onnenhattu on toisinaan vastasyntyneen lapsen päätä verhoamaan jäänyt sikiökalvo. Onnenhattu on joissain kulttuureissa katsottu hyväksi enteeksi lapsen kannalta; lapsesta on uskottu tulevan viisas, älykäs tai merkittävä. Ainakin suomalaiset, ruotsalaiset ja saamelaiset ovat toisinaan ottaneet lapsen onnenhatun talteen, kuivanneet sen, ja antaneet tälle myöhemmin säilytettäväksi koko elämän ajan. Onnenhattu on myös usein haudattu vainajan kanssa. |
