It became New Latin "allantois" from which we get the English words
"allantoin" and "allantois".  Not to be confused with "Alan", an
Indo-European people who got scattered from the Volga to North Africa by the
Huns*, or the Irish god "Allun".

I seem to recall that one of Aristophanes's plays (perhaps "The Clouds") had
a major character who was a sausage-seller.
