But this word does not appear ever to have been applied to the posi tion of the arms in the sense of aez'meo, and it is extremely diﬂicult to suppose that such a word could have been caught up out of Icel. Or Norse into E., and used exclusively in a special application which it never had in its native language. Moreover, the derivation does not agree with the form akem doll, vouched by Cotgrave and Torriano. Se quarrir, to square it, carry his arms akemboll - Anse, the handle or ear of a pot, cup, &c. Les bras courbes en anse, with arms akembol - Cot. With arms set on eemboll, le braccia in croce. - Torr.
