A gummy liquor that exudes from embalmed flesh when             heated; -- formerly supposed to have magical and medicinal             properties. [Obs.] --Shak. --Sir T. Herbert.          4. A brown color obtained from bitumen. See {Mummy brown}             (below).          5. (Gardening) A sort of wax used in grafting, etc.          6. One whose affections and energies are withered.          {Mummy brown}, a brown color, nearly intermediate in tint             between burnt umber and raw umber. A pigment of this color             is prepared from bitumen, etc., obtained from Egyptian             tombs.          {Mummy wheat} (Bot.), wheat found in the ancient mummy cases             of Egypt.

monad          /mo'nad/ A technique from       {category theory} which has been adopted as a way of dealing       with {state} in {functional programming languages} in such a       way that the details of the state are hidden or abstracted out       of code that merely passes it on unchanged.          A monad has three components: a means of augmenting an       existing type, a means of creating a default value of this new       type from a value of the original type, and a replacement for       the basic application operator for the old type that works       with the new type.          The alternative to passing state via a monad is to add an       extra argument and return value to many functions which have       no interest in that state.   Monads can encapsulate state, side       effects, exception handling, global data, etc. in a purely       lazily functional way.          A monad can be expressed as the triple, (M, unitM, bindM)       where M is a function on types and (using {Haskell} notaion):          unitM :: a -> M a       bindM :: M a -> (a -> M b) -> M b          I.e. unitM converts an ordinary value of type a in to monadic       form and bindM applies a function to a monadic value after       de-monadising it.   E.g. a state transformer monad:          type S a = State -> (a, State)       unitS a   = \ s0 -> (a, s0)       m `bindS` k = \ s0 -> let (a,s1) = m s0                in k a s1          Here unitS adds some initial state to an ordinary value and       bindS applies function k to a value m.   (`fun` is Haskell       notation for using a function as an {infix} operator).   Both m       and k take a state as input and return a new state as part of       their output.   The construction          m `bindS` k          composes these two state transformers into one while also       passing the value of m to k.          Monads are a powerful tool in {functional programming}.   If a       program is written using a monad to pass around a variable       (like the state in the example above) then it is easy to       change what is passed around simply by changing the monad.       Only the parts of the program which deal directly with the       quantity concerned need be altered, parts which merely pass it       on unchanged will stay the same.          In functional programming, unitM is often called initM or       returnM and bindM is called thenM.   A third function, mapM is       frequently defined in terms of then and return.   This applies       a given function to a list of monadic values, threading some       variable (e.g. state) through the applications:          mapM :: (a -> M b) -> [a] -> M [b]       mapM f []      = returnM []       mapM f (x:xs) = f x    `thenM` ( \ x2 ->                               mapM f xs               `thenM` ( \ xs2 ->             returnM (x2 : xs2)            ))          (2000-03-09)

mount          To make a {file system} available for access.          {Unix} does this by associating the file system with a       {directory} (the "mount point") within a currently mounted       file system.   The "root" file system is mounted on the {root       directory}, "/" early in the {boot} sequence.   "mount" is also       the {Unix} command to do this, "unmount" breaks the       association.          E.g., "mount attaches a named file system to the file system       hierarchy at the pathname location directory [...]" -- {Unix       manual page} mount(8).          File systems are usually mounted either at {boot time} under       control of {/etc/rc} (or one of its subfiles) or on demand by       an {automounter} {daemon}.          Other {operating systems} such as {VMS} and {DOS} mount file       systems as separate directory hierarchies without any common       ancestor or root directory.          Apparently derived from the physical sense of "mount" meaning       "attach", as in "head-mounted display", or "set up", as in       "always mount a {scratch monkey}, etc."          {Unix manual page}: mount(8).          (1997-04-14)

There is a       gentle valley running for about 4 miles east of Dhiban called       Kurm Dhiban, "the vineyards of Dibon." Tristram supposes that       this may be the "vineyards" mentioned in Judg.

Mint       (Gr. heduosmon, i.e., "having a sweet smell"), one of the garden       herbs of which the Pharisees paid tithes (Matt. 23:23; Luke       11:42). It belongs to the labiate family of plants. The species       most common in Syria is the Mentha sylvestris, the wild mint,       which grows much larger than the garden mint (M. sativa). It was       much used in domestic economy as a condiment, and also as a       medicine. The paying of tithes of mint was in accordance with       the Mosiac law (Deut. 14:22), but the error of the Pharisees lay       in their being more careful about this little matter of the mint       than about weightier matters.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Month       Among the Egyptians the month of thirty days each was in use       long before the time of the Exodus, and formed the basis of       their calculations. From the time of the institution of the       Mosaic law the month among the Jews was lunar. The cycle of       religious feasts depended on the moon. The commencement of a       month was determined by the observation of the new moon. The       number of months in the year was usually twelve (1 Kings 4:7; 1       Chr. 27:1-15); but every third year an additional month       (ve-Adar) was inserted, so as to make the months coincide with       the seasons.                "The Hebrews and Phoenicians had no word for month save       'moon,' and only saved their calendar from becoming vague like       that of the Moslems by the interpolation of an additional month.       There is no evidence at all that they ever used a true solar       year such as the Egyptians possessed. The latter had twelve       months of thirty days and five epagomenac or odd days.",       Palestine Quarterly, January 1889.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mount       Palestine is a hilly country (Deut. 3:25; 11:11; Ezek. 34:13).       West of Jordan the mountains stretch from Lebanon far down into       Galilee, terminating in Carmel. The isolated peak of Tabor rises       from the elevated plain of Esdraelon, which, in the south, is       shut in by hills spreading over the greater part of Samaria. The       mountains of Western and Middle Palestine do not extend to the       sea, but gently slope into plains, and toward the Jordan fall       down into the Ghor.                East of the Jordan the Anti-Lebanon, stretching south,       terminates in the hilly district called Jebel Heish, which       reaches down to the Sea of Gennesareth. South of the river       Hieromax there is again a succession of hills, which are       traversed by wadies running toward the Jordan. These gradually       descend to a level at the river Arnon, which was the boundary of       the ancient trans-Jordanic territory toward the south.                The composition of the Palestinian hills is limestone, with       occasional strata of chalk, and hence the numerous caves, some       of large extent, found there.
