SMELLSMOCK

Since this book has a bad habit of intertwining two lost words into one definition, and then moving in that direction for a page or so, I'll give half a definition to avoid the circle of pain of inserting 12 words into a one-word slot.

Paggling means bulging or hangly down loosely.

SMELLSMOCK

A smellsmock is a licentious man, perhaps a former priest, with roving eyes, who often has a paggling stomach.
