Limestone, (Calcium-carbonate CaCO₃), when burnt in a kiln (thab kha) it transforms into quicklime (Calcium-oxide CaO). With water, quicklime transforms in slaked lime (Calcium-hydroxide Ca(OH)₂), a basis for plaster and cement. Exposed to Carbondioxide of the air, slaked lime hardens back into Calcium-carbonate or limestone. This process was perfectly known and mastered in ancient Rome as well as in ancient India. The indian name sudhā refers to lime, limepowder, limeplaster, but also nectar. See also cong zhi, limestone, according to Mahavyutpatti 'cong zhi chu', juice of the soma plant (wisdomlib.org)
