Isn’t Schleifer = Swedish ‘kvarn’?
Peppar- och (respektive) saltkvarn.
Väderkvarn.
“den som kommer först till qvarnen, får först malet” (1880), from Sachsenspiegel (1220–1235): “Die ok irst to der molen kumt, die sal erst malen.” (‘He who comes to the mill first shall grind first.’)
I’m useless when it comes to anything related to kitchen, but isn’t the first one a ‘mixerstav’? (“mixing stick”?)
And just maybe, was there a glimpse of a ‘kvarn’ in there, too?
Mixerstav.
(Elektrisk) saltkvarn.
Pratkvarn.

There's no mill.
That's unexpected.) Sometimes silence is gold.

So .... 
The verbs we talked about. In German:
schleifen = a) to grind (sharpen the knife before using), to sand (the the wooden table)
b) to drag something or someone along the floor (example: Linus von den Peanuts schleift seine Decke hinter sich her)
schneiden = to cut
schleudern = to skid (on an icy road), to hurl (a rock into the lake), to spin (Ich schleudere den Salat, die Waschmaschine schleudert die Wäsche)
mahlen = to grind, to mill (In German you "mahlen" the grain as well as coffee beans)
die Mühle = the mill (Getreidemühle, Pfeffermühle, Wassermühle, Kaffeemühle, ...)
die Tretmühle = tread mill
mischen, mixen = to mix

Snus.
One day I am doing quite well understanding your Swedish posts and some days, like today lol, I only understand train station lolol.
Like my brain has a language glitch.
Snus = Schnupftabak?
proverb:
Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof
= literally: All I understand is train station!
= meaning: I don´t understand a thing!

Yes. But how about ›der molen‹ in »Die ok irst to der molen kumt, die sal erst malen«? I suppose this is Lower German, and it should also be noted that it is from the 13th Century.
Also, I’m surprised that linguistic sample does not have its proper noun given with initial capital letter. Is that a more modern thing, then? Or could it perhaps be, that I am in fact completely lost and don’t know the first thing of what I’m trying to say? You tell me!
Preach it, sister!
