Not as a noun in Lewis & Short or Gaffiot. --Lambiam 14:43, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * .. or Georges. Which wouldn't be surprising if it's Middle or New Latin, related to calamar, Eng., Germ. . --Κλειδίον (talk) 16:21, 3 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I looked around, but only found species names (and not squid-related ones), the writing-reed-related sense (e.g. from The Register of John de Grandisson, Bishop of Exeter, (A. D. 1327-1369): " penne, calamarii, atque carte, ", or Q. Horatii Flacci Satyrae: cultelli & calamarii ), or Romanian. I also found a couple copies of a US museum work saying that this was also a noun meaning "pen bearer", but they seem to be misunderstanding or simply misrepresenting the adjective, because I couldn't find any uses of that noun, either. - -sche (discuss) 09:33, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
