I think it's style over substance; but then, I would, wouldn't I‽

It's one of spelling. Kinda like a Brit saying we spell honour incorrectly. In fact, I used to have a blog, sadly offline since some major disc foo, that used that spelling.

It was the missing L that caught my attention. I was subsequently unable to find any spellings with the E and that includes the B&M OED.

It was one of many spellings, as tsuwm pointed out, e.g., link.

Entry 7 to your attention >>
link ( but the link seems to be broken )
Saw it when searching for the French gallimaufrey, (2 LL's ).
The 'galli' got something to do with gallisisms ?
'maufrey' = wrongly baked? (fried I mean) A miscooked gallisism? Mélange or hotchpotch.
