The word "Spilogalae" is a combination of the Greek words "spilo" (meaning spot) and "gala" (meaning milk), commonly used to refer to a condition where patches of milk are discharged from a cow's udder. The correct pronunciation of "Spilogalae" is [spiːləʊɡəˈliː]. The use of the "ae" ending is a common convention in combining Greek words, as "ae" sounds like the Greek letter alpha with an epsilon. The word can be spelled as "Spilogaale" in some sources, which may cause confusion in pronunciation.
