3929. Printed _pavade_ by Tyrwhitt, _pauade_ by Thynne (ed. 1532), but _panade_ in Wright. Levins' Manipulus Vocabulorum (1570) has: 'A PAUADE, _pugio_'; but this is probably copied from Thynne. The exact form is not found in O. F., but Godefroy's O. F. Dict. gives: '_Penart_, _pennart_, _penard_, _panart_, _pannart_, coutelas, espèce de grand couteau à deux tranchants ou taillants, sorte de poignard'; with seven examples, one of which shows that it could be hung at the belt: 'Un grant _pennart_ qu'il avoit pendu a sa sainture.' Ducange gives the Low Lat. form _penardus_, and wrongly connects it with F. _poignard_, from which it is clearly distinct; but he also gives the form _pennatum_ with the sense of 'pruning-knife,' and Torriano gives an Ital. _pennato_ with the same sense. Cf. Lat. _bi-pennis_. It was a two-edged cutlass, worn in addition to his sword; and see below. It is also printed _pauade_ in Lydgate's Siege of Troy, ed. 1555, fol. N 5, back. 3931. _popper_, thruster, i. e. dagger; from the verb _pop_, to thrust in; cf. _poke_. _Ioly_ probably means 'neat' or 'small.' This was the Miller's third weapon of offence, of which he had three sizes, viz. a sword, a cutlass, and a little dagger like a _misericorde_, used for piercing between the joints of armour. No wonder that no one durst touch him 'for peril.' The _poppere_ answers to the _boydekin_ of l. 3960, q.v. And besides these, he carried a knife. 'Poppe, to stryke'; Cathol. Angl. p. 286. 3933. _thwitel_, knife; from A.S. _thw[=i]tan_, to cut; now ill-spelt _whittle_. The portraits of Chaucer show a knife hanging from his breast; accordingly, in Greene's Description of Chaucer, we find this line: 'A whittle by his belt he bare'; see Greene's Works, ed. Dyce, 1883, p. 320. Note that Sheffield was already celebrated for its cutlery; so in the Witch of Edmonton, Act ii. sc. 2, Somerton speaks of 'the new pair of _Sheffield knives_.' 3934. _camuse_ (Hl. _camois_), low and concave; cf. l. 3974 below. F. _camus_, 'flat-nosed'; Cotgrave. Ital. _camuso_, 'one with a flat nose'; Florio. See _Camois_ in the New E. Dict., where it is thus explained: 'Of the nose: low and concave. Of persons: pug-nosed.' To the examples there given, add the following from Holland's tr. of Pliny, i. 229; 'As for the male goats, they are held for the best which are most _camoise_ or snout-nosed.' Hexham's Du. Dict., s. v. _Neuse_, has the curious entry: '_een Camuys ende opwaerts gaende Neuse_ [lit. a camus and upwards-going Nose], Camell-nosed.'
