Probably named after the nearby stream which, after rains, froths turbulently and resembles milk. An aqueous solution froths like soap and water when shaken. When the slits are filled up, she covers them with white secretions called egg froths. It froths the milk by spinning its attachment. The magma froths to form pumice and ash, which is thrown out with great force. The ants apply froths to conflicting organisms. This forms an unstable current that froths, making the water appear opaque and white. The froths are applied in a "paintbrush" style manner to surround the offender.
