Are the illustrations in 66r and 116v related?

I need to explain, why I don't quite like "musmel" or "melmuß" interpretation. Yes, we see a pot with some yellow substance. It can be some kind of gruel or just honey. But, first of all, could the word "musmel" be applied to inedible porridge-like substance for external treatment (compress, poultice, etc.)? Although it's not too clear, but one can see a yellow spot on the belly or on the right body side of the figure, in the place, where his/her right hand is. 
   
In the same time, the pose and sickly look of the figure may mean some abdominal pains or stitch in the right side, i. e., quite possibly, renal colic. Honey (with some surprising components) always was valued and used for many remedies, internal and external (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). The letter p (if not γ ) can mean solutio (solution) in medicine (Capelli).
And the main thing: the word mu(*)     is still very questionable for any exact reading, actually, it can be: 
1) mus (?)
   
2) mur (muris?)
   
3) mur (?)
   
4) mul (mull?)
   
I'm not sure that it looks like mus or muß. What do you think?
