Glossing: writing word-by-word transliteration. Gloss is generally defined as an explanatory comment or note added to the text of a book. It is words of explanation or translation of a foreign or strange word that needs explanation. Wilcox describes gloss as the following:
1 The lacrimal gland produces tears which enter into the duct that drain the tears from the eye into the nose. 2  The most common symptoms are If one has a plugged up tear duct, not only will tears spill over the eyelids and ru n down the face, but the stagnant tears within the system can become infected.
How could this be, you ask? When your eyes are dry the brain senses this dryness through a reflex mechanism. As far as the brain is concerned, more tears need to be produced. Because the brain is the ultimate organ controlling tear production, a signal is sent to the tear glands to make more tears. If the tear duct drains can not handle the excess tearing will be the symptom.
