hello,
I am Greek living in London but unfortunately I do not have a Greek keyboard and so I can not find what the word Ixor means - the spelling is not correct!
They sent me from Greece an article from a journal with this tittle but I have no other details about this resource.
thank you very much

The word you are looking for is ichor.

From Random House:
i·chor (#Ækôr, #ÆkÃr), n.
1. Class. Myth. an ethereal fluid flowing in the veins of the gods.
2. Pathol. an acrid, watery discharge, as from an ulcer or wound.
[1630–40; < LL #ch$r (in medical sense) < Gk #ch¤r]
—i·chor·ous (#ÆkÃr Ãs), adj.
Η λέξη Ιχώρ (αρσ.) ή Ιχώρος (ο), αναφέρεται και χρησιμοποιείται στην καθαρεύουσα. Έχει τις εξής σημασίες: πύον, σάπιο αίμα αλλά και ορός αίματος. Αναφέρεται ως το περιεχόμενο του κυκλοφορικού συστήματος του προστάτη Γίγαντα της Κρήτης, Τάλω. Κατ' άλλους όμως το «αίμα» του γίγαντα ήταν υδράργυρος.
