[Sca-cooks] poll - what is a citrangula?

[t.d.decker at att.net]

In a translation of one of Avicenna's medical texts (11th Century), citrangula is generally translated as orange.  I've also seen a later text (author and date escapes me) where citrangula and limones (either citrons or lemons) are mentioned in the same sentence.  However, we can't rule out that Scully is reference a regional usage of the word.
