Hi K
i don't understand how you get Mucal.

Apologies trevor your MUCOR is correct

Muc(k) OR (before)

to be honest K,i don't get OR to mean before.
is it poetic?

Yes OR is an archaic word for before.

See Chambers.

Thank you Trevor and K for thw answers and explanations.

thanks K, i really should invest in a copy of Chambers (i've seen the untold joy that it brought to Mamya)
thanks again
