Answer 3

Welcome to the forum

I used my translator and it said blanched like in "blanched almonds"

Intersesting context for turning white/turning pale in color. Blanching almonds is to loosen the skins. The color change is a side effect. - 0074b507, Sep 10, 2011

Answer 4

Many of us love a good puzzle. Your question is a real puzzle.

There is a verb "empalmar" which, among other things, means: "to link, to join up, or to connect.

Can you verify that the word you have given us is spelled correctly, and/or, can you tell us what kind of homework this is. Perhaps you could give us the entire sentence in which the word was used. Without this kind of help as a clue, the word you are enquiring is a mystery to me and maybe to others.
