Note: Gloss ?to warm (sth.); ?to work or knead (sth.). This example ('moyle') may be interpreted in at least four ways (considered with respect to the existing framework of possibly relevant entries in MED and OED): [1]. Sense 'to warm' or 'to keep warm.' OED recognizes this as a possible sense, but cannot decide if it belongs with their 'mull' v.1 (sense 4, 'to grind, wet,' etc etc) or 'mull' v.2 ('produce mulled wine' etc.). The first corresponds to MED mollen v. (i.e., this entry, MED28503), the second is not attested in ME. This is perhaps the most obvious interpretation of this example. [2]. Sense 'to work' perhaps as one would work mortar or paste, by constantly stirring and blending it. Though not exactly attested, one could shoehorn this sense into OED 'moil' v. ('wet, moisten, soften,; wallow; work hard, drudge') -- which also corresponds with the current entry. [3]. Sense 'to blend, mix'. = OED mell v., MED medlen v. [4]. Sense 'to knead, shape; mix into a paste', from MED molden v., = OED mould v. (but cp. also OED mool n.) Sense 4 is perhaps the most satisfying, but -oi- spellings are not attested for it; senses 1 and 2 are here presented as alternatives under the current MED entry (mollen), for which there *are* -oi- spellings. Sense 3 is probably the weakest option, especially since 'mell' is used twice in the same sentence, clearly and unambiguously spelt 'mele'.
