I read from dex to dextranase.
The month that Muslims take a pilgrimage to Mecca is "Dhu al-Hijja".

"Diabase" is the preferred name of these types of rocks in North America, but per usual, the rest of the English speaking world prefers to the use the name "dolerite".

The word of the episode is "diabetes".
