Just curious, I looked in my Gage dictionary with word origins, and
the word 'mangle' for the machine (as for laundry) is from the Dutch
'mangel' and latin 'manganum', a contrivance.
or from the Greek (info from AskOxford online), 'manganon' axis, engine.

I would like to thank Sally for posting about mangling some time ago -
I stored the how-to for future reference, and when the topic came up
on another lace group, I decided to give it a try. Works like a darn.
or a mangle ;)
