Muzelzak (m (n))

(with) definite article: de
Moezel

Heard in Boom, Niel, Reet, and Wilrijk (prov. Antwerp); NB¹: Verschuere Reynvaan informs us that "de leerenzak wordt onderhouden, zacht en gedwee gemaakt, door middel van die te ſmeeren, met ongezouten reuzel" (the leather bag is maintained, made soft and supple [lit.: meek (!)], by means of embrocating it with unsalted lard); NB²: According to a (yet unidentified) source in WNT, "mentioned as the name of a type of bagpipe, somewhat differing from the cornemuse"; NB³: Muyselzak.
