paul1132 commented on the word spraddled
The word is used in Faulkner's As I Lay Dying to describe the mules carried away in the flood waters, "I see the mules come rolling slow up out of the water, their legs spraddled stiff..."

The word is used to describe the merchant's beard in The Canterbury Tales, and it also appears later in The Rape of the Lock. Unfortunately archaic.
