The word "snuffle" in literature appears as a versatile auditory marker that conveys a range of emotions and physical actions. Authors use it to capture everything from a mild, almost humorous nasal action to an expression of irritation or sadness. In some contexts it accentuates a character’s impatience or derision, as when a character responds with an angry snuffle of suspicion [1] or a haughty snuffle that underscores a comic yet condescending demeanor [2]. In other instances, it elicits a subtle, almost imperceptible note of weariness or discomfort—a gentle snuffle accompanying a tearful awakening [3] or a horse’s light snuffle stirring a somnolent hero [4]. Even in descriptions of animal behavior or natural phenomena, the snuffle adds a distinct, textured quality that enriches the narrative atmosphere [5].
