water molen.

Brit.

/ˈwɔːtə ˌməʊl/, U.S.

/ˈwɔdər ˌmoʊl/,

/ˈwɑdər ˌmoʊl/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: water n., mole n.³

Etymology: < water n. + mole n.³With quot. 1770 at sense 1a compare Scottish Gaelic famh-bhual mole, water vole, shrew mouse, apparently lit. ‘water mole’ (although this is apparently first attested later: 19th cent. or earlier); compare earlier lavellan n.

†a. Chiefly Scottish and English regional (Cambridgeshire). A small aquatic mammal likened to the mole in appearance or habits, as the water shrew, Neomys fodiens, and (a dark-coloured variety of) the water vole, Arvicola amphibius. Obsolete. rare.In quot. 1770 the identification is conjectural. In quot. 1866 perhaps an error for water vole.

1770 T. Pennant Brit. Zool. (new ed.) IV. 84 I imagine it [sc. the water shrew] is the same which the inhabitants of Sutherland name the water mole; and those of Caithnes the Lavellan.

1846 L. Jenyns Observ. Nat. Hist. 76 We have an animal frequenting the fen-ditches of Cambridgeshire, and not very unfrequent, which the people sometimes call the water-mole. This is nothing more than a black variety of the common water-rat.

1866 Brit. Pleistocene Mammalia (Palaeontogr. Soc. Monogr. 1864) Introd. p. xxxvi Arvicola amphibius... The large water mole of our streams lived at the same time as the great extinct carnivora.

†b. The common or eastern mole of North America, Scalops aquaticus. Obsolete.Named Sorex aquaticus by Linnaeus (1758), who erroneously supposed it to be an aquatic animal.

1842 Synopsis Contents Brit. Mus. (ed. 44) 13 The water moles (Scalops) have a depressed elongated muzzle.

1853 Putnam's Monthly Mag. Dec. 624/1 I have never detected him with any more valuable prey in his clutches than a shrew, a meadow mouse, or a water mole.

1880 Amer. Naturalist 14 53 The common mole..is known in Mr. Slade's locality as the marsh or water mole, the hairy-tailed being called the upland mole.

c. A desman ( Desmana or a related genus).

1845 R. Owen Odontography I. vii. 416 The transition from the Moles to the Shrews seems to be made by the Water-moles, (Mygale), and the Solenodon.

1876 A. R. Wallace Geogr. Distr. Animals 218 On the right is a still more curious animal, the desman (Myogale Muscovitica), a long-snouted water-mole.

1902 Encycl. Brit. XX. 126/1 The Pyrenean desman or water-mole (Myogale pyrenaica) is found only in some of the streams of the northern slopes.

1951 W. K. Gregory Evol. Emerging I. xix. 379/1 Exceptions, however, are the long-tailed African water-shrew.., and the large water mole..commonly called Myogale moschata.

2001 Jrnl. Vertebr. Paleontol. 21 547/1 The most abundant European fossil water-moles belong to three genera.
