(Poxleber -> causes pain -> causes putrefaction = [possible flatulence])
If someone wanted to write: poxleber causes pain, there really should be a verb 'cause' in there.
Goat liver was used in recipes against night blindness, it was used by the Romans for divination, and it has been recorded in the later 15th C as a swear word.
I am not aware that it would be regular food.
These give some possible contexts.
I can't remember if I ever suggested that pmon could be p[ul]mon. This is somewhat attractive because the famous line of invective that has been quoted in this context says: "Ey schend sie poxleber und lung".
The liver and the lung seem to go together at least in this context, probably less as food or medicine.
