Joachim, I know your problem from the perspective of a snus deliverer to
German relatives. So far, sending snus (and receiving it) as a gift in
limited quantities has not been persecuted.

Hej Wolfram, Theo &,

Wolfram, happy German relatives of thine …

and thanks for the hints and links, especially that to the Swedish tobacco
museum.

To come back to the etymological part of the question:
It seems that there is a whole group of words in Germanic languages
beginning with "sn" which are all related to and meaning some parts of or
actions with the snout / snus / snute / Schnüss / Schnauze. Covering the
fore-standing / protuding part of human and animal's face and head, be it
nose or mouth.
But I have the impression, that in the social use of the words the *snup /
Schnupf / snuff *twig of these words tend nowadays to relate more to nose,
the *snute / schnüss / snus* part to mouth.
-- OT: -- By the way, the essential kind of consumption of the so-called
"chewing tobacco" or "Kautabak" is at my estimation not really chewing but
sucking. So the ban of Swedish snus for the other EU- countries because
"mouth-tobacco products which are not determined to be smoked or chewed" is
a really scandalous discrimination …

That won't impress Prussian custom very much.

Beste Hanne,
Biste di dåår zeker? Un wåår kümp dat vanaf?
Ik zolde dat net as "Haltet euch feucht" üöverzet hebben ;-). Wollicht wat
antrekkelik of wollüstig. Omdat et van "fuchte" hd. *Feuchte* kümp.

"*vochtig* bn. ‘nattig, een beetje nat’. Mnl. *vugteg* [1240; Bern.], *

*Fries*: *fochte* ◆ *fochtich"*
*Jau, nu, water is ouk wol beweglik …*

Korrektie: een doffer is netuurlik een mannechiesdoeve (mannetjesduif).
Bi'j de vogels maakt de mannechies zich mooi veur de vrouwchies.
Maar de betekenis "opdoffen" veraandert hierdeur niet.

Dick.
