pame,  pasme  
  FEW:  palmula *7,517a Gdf: ∅ GdfC: ∅ TL: ∅ DEAF: ∅ DMF: ∅ TLF: ∅ OED: ∅ MED: ∅ DMLBS:  palmula 2090a

The editor of Secr Waterford1 suggests this word may be related to the form pamel attested in the FEW (pamula 7,517a) meaning ‘kleine Palme, Gerste'. DuCange sub pamola notes a Romance derivation (‘Fumenti genus, hordeum, vulgo Pamoule, Provincialibus Paumoulle. Pamel hordeum vocant etiamnum Picardi.’) and sub paumela notes the expression ‘pannus de paumela’.
