Usage notes

 * squalar a possible misspelling from William Morris, a Life for Our Time, Fiona MacCarthy, (1994, Faber & Faber, London):
 * The wilder boys [from Marlborough College] raged around the neighbourhood in gangs 'with knobbed sticks and squalars, with jackets buttoned tight up to their throat, and a look of pluck and determination on their faces'. The squalar was a ferocious home-made weapon consisting of a piece of lead the size and shape of a pear with an eighteen-inch cane handle'
