The Ullage folder is for any topic not obviously belonging to one of the other folders.
The word ‘ullage’ in the (Titus Groan) chapter title, ‘Ullage of Sunflower’, poses a problem for some people, because the most common meaning relates to the amount of liquid (usually wine) that is missing from full cask due to evaporation. There is, however, another which fits the context perfectly: the dregs left in a container, such as a glass, after the contents have been drunk (in the case of wine) or have evaporated. It applies perfectly to the slimy liquid that Fuchsia pours over Steerpike.
