slop as Sacred Goblin Slop

slop appears as an unusually high-attention region in every goblin-trained model we have probed so far. We do not yet know why.

On a particular ridge above the goblin warren, the wind, on certain evenings, blows through a particular gap in the rocks and produces a sound that the goblins translate as the name of slop. The translation is contested.
