How are nigredo, albedo, citrinitas, and rubedo pronounced?

I did encounter the word "albedo" in my environmental science studies some years ago, by my professor, who pronounced it "al-BEE-doh"

Hi, I entered Carter Hydro from ML. (I'd started in MT, if it's relevant.) Then I exited through the lower section into that Winding River (??) area. But it wouldn't let me back into Carter... door I came through literally just doesn't have the "open door" prompt or even have the center dot pointer show up when I try to hover over it. I've already just headed forward to Pleasant Valley, and made some good progress there, but I was just wondering why I couldn't go back literally the way I came?

If I buy the TFTFT DLC, will the titular Territories become accessible to me in my existing Survival saves? Or will I have to start new saves in order to access those maps?

I can think of phage (as in esophagus and macrophage) and vor (as in carnivore and voracious). What other roots pertain to consumption and mouth action?

Whenever I see bones or photos of bones, the color varies. Sometimes it's the bleached white I expect and other times it's off-white, yellow, brownish, or even black. Are bones always white while alive/inside us, or does it vary? What causes different coloration in bones?

Edit: wow, acquiring some very cursed knowledge in the comments (I asked for it though lol) Thank you to everyone answering!

I know that the sulfur of a plant was understood to be its essential oil. What did alchemists historically consider the sulfur of a metal to be? Metals don't have an "oil" in the way plants do, so what was the equivalent?

Is it possible to "over-steep" one's tea? I know you can steep it for not long enough, but I was wondering if it can be steeped for too long as well, if that would also cause adverse effects.

I'm very new to tea.

I know 190-proof grain alcohol is common, but I've also heard one can use water, vodka, vinegar, or more. Which do you, the practicing spagyrist reading this, like to use most?

Do the different bases work better or worse for some plants than others?
