Qualm
Prior to your edits on the etymology, this word had been in the category "German words derived from Middle Low German", which I've been working to fill. Please be careful not to delete the elemets {etyl}, {der}, {inh} when you edit etymologies. (Middle Low German goes until 1600, so a word borrowed from "Low German" before that year according to your sources is automatically from MLG -- incase that was your problem.)

 * And please also be careful when you make very specific definitions. "Qualm" can be a perfect synonym of "Rauch". I use it that way. Many people do. There's "Zigarrenrauch" and "Zigarettenqualm", the latter isn't thicker than the former or anything. You can say: "smoke, particularly when very thick". So be a bit more careful. Best regards!
