Description:
The term 'welop' refers to an egg. It is more prototypically a hard-shelled external egg such as a chicken would lay, but can be used colloquially for an internal gamete, a soft fish egg, etc., much like the English word.
Welop can be used as a verb - in that sense it is an intransitive pali verb with an absolutive layer that means 'to lay an egg', or 'lay eggs'
