It is perhaps not so obvious that sweeps are also oars, which on a galley are stacked one deck above the other. Swepstacke???

Another SWAG: Oars have to pivot on something to be truly effective. That something could well be a stake driven into the gunwale with a hole or fork for the oar to go through.
