Angharad found:

	"Fusil - (fu'-sil) An elongated lozenge. The word comes from the
French fuscan = a spindle, and the bearing is supposed to represent a
distaff charged with a yarn.


I really like this!! (Although I would take issue with the shape
representing a distaff charged with yarn since a distaff holds unspun
fiber and a SPINDLE charged with yarn is more likely to achieve a shape
close to a diamond)
