samp

This was the samp-mill, where their corn was pounded into meal.

The Indian samp-wallahs do not use any infusion or unguent to stupefy and disarm their snakes, as do those of Ethiopia.

Then I put some of the hot water to the samp, and drank it up, and my spirit came again.

These hand-mills are sometimes still found in use as "samp-mills."

Samp is the corn skinned, as we shell oats, or make pearl barley; it is then boiled with pork or other meat, as we boil peas.
