Definition
An alternative spelling of gingalls; plural form of a large swivel-mounted gun used in colonial Asia.
Etymology
Variant spelling of gingall/gingalls, reflecting different transliterations from Portuguese or Dutch colonial sources and inconsistent early English spelling conventions.
Kelly Says
The existence of spelling variants like 'gingals' versus 'gingalls' is common in older texts because English hadn't yet standardized how to write words borrowed from Asian languages—each writer spelled it their own way!
