Well, I like my final version; but then, I am biased.

I'm still siding with DW, but to each his or her ownDukkhaWaynhim wrote:Retch and vomit carry different meanings anyway.
Vomit means to throw up; speak lunch; give forth a technicolor yawn; blow chunks; chunder; play 'guess what I just ate'; CSI-lunch; meal - the sequel; toss the cookies; take a ride on the v-train; summon the ghost of breakfast past...
Retch means to vomit whether you have stomach contents or not; to vomit air; blow chunks of nothing. Different meaning.
I think vomit, while overused in regular parlance, is the accepted medical term - which is the most logical choice for Linden to access.
Having said all that... he might have also chosen "...disgorge her erst viands."
