Looks like German "angenehm" = "pleasant". Just kidding.

It's a typo. for "unguem", used in the Latin expression "ad unguem" =
"perfect", from "unguis" = "fingernail".

In the passage, somebody has used "ad dunghel" for "ad unguem" ...
apparently the "d" in "ad" has become attached to the erroneous "unghel" to
make "dunghel". Maybe it's meant to = "dunghill" for a joke? Maybe a
Shakespeare concordance or some such book would explain it.
