"The larma is luscious. It has a rather hard shell but the shell
is brittle and easily broken. Within, the fleshy endocarp, the fruit, is
delicious and very juicy. Sometimes, when a woman is referred to as a
`larma,' it is suggested that her hard or frigid exterior conceals a rather
different sort of interior, one likely to be quite delicious." --p.437,
