Could "aillie" and "ail" mean aioli?  I've heard that mayonnaise isn't

I would tend towards what Master A said about potnetial for a garlic sauce .

daughter sauce from the mother: mayonnaise.  The logic that got the word
used (is garlic in the sauce) sounds like a good lead, but the immulsified
sauce would seem to be a weaker one.
