What does "mombly" mean?

From Mason & Dixon, episode 20.

The Boys, up since before Dawn, mombly upon the Floor with Fatigue, lurch over to kiss him good-Night, as if he has never been away

OED.com yields no results.

Google is getting me no where.

The page-by-page annotations have nothing.

Best I can find is from M-W:

dialectal, England : CONFUSE, BEWILDER

​

An adjective derived from this verb? Thoughts?

The M-W definition seems best. Alternatively, it could be a portmanteau, but I don't know for what.

​

I envy you your OED sub.
