    They sell sticks of pitch wood that are pieces of stumps that are so soaked in sap that they burn like kerosene. Gasoline is all decayed plants.

    Maybe they meant fuel and it got mixed up in translation?

  4. *Commiphora myrrha*, source of myrrh, the latter sold to aquire explosives/weapons.
