Slightly crossed wires I think. In you last message you pointed out
that fug was a word for fog (quote: "It [fug] is a variant of fog.").
Yes it is, but only in the sense I highlighted in my previous message.
Fug is also as you mention above, but I forgot (or didn't feel it was
necessary) to add that to my post.
