Kaba²ink¤ra £h¤ro:(kabala: a small piece, ball, of food, a mouthful) PED has food "made into a ball," i.e. eatable, material food. The idea here is easy enough (stuff people actually eat for nourishment), but finding a word for it is not. This term is further defined as "either o²¤riko or sukhumo; gross or coarse, or subtle. And subtle here most likely applies to the food enjoyed by the gods as well as that enjoyed by man: in other words, it could also mean such food as being nourished on friendly vibrations and pit¨ or entheusiasm (although this might fall under the category of "sense stimulation" as food), or on scents as for some gods that reside nearby.
