NOTE: Although a collaborator's dictionary suggested ‘mull’ came from the Gaelic ‘maol’ (snout) seems it could also have come from the Scots language from the Lowlands (as opposed to Highlands and Islands’ Gaelic). That is, as a version of ‘mill’, apparently associated with grinding tobacco on the inner ribs of the horn to make the powdered snuff.
