Page 366 of my Stearns (fourth edition 1998)
mentions albens-whitened; albescens- becoming white, whitish; albidus- somewhat
white, whitish; albus- white, particularly a dull rather than a glossy white. A
smaller Collins publication mentions albus=white, bright. An English to French
free translation service (www.freetranslation.com)
mentions alba & albus as the same in English as in French. Sorry, no Latin
translations available.
