This list has an amazing "side-effect", which is
: getting to know "new words & things" that I
haven't heard as off now,
f.e. "M?l?e" : which Google translates in german
to something like "fray in naval warfare? !?

My English dictionary gives, "mixed fight, or
crowd".  I was trying to convey the idea of a
disorganised fight.

Given the accents (which I omitted because I
can never remember how to do them on my
keyboard) the word was probably borrowed
from French.

M?l?e? Probably the French accents got lost, somewhere in America...
You meant Mêlée?     O:-)


Best,

Stefan
