† siquare Obs. Also 4 siquar, sequar; 5 Sc. sith(t)-, syth(t)ar, -ware. [Origin and precise form doubtful.] Period or point of time; moment. Chiefly in phr. in that siquare. Very common in the Cotton MS. of the Cursor M., but usually altered in the other MSS. Otherwise recorded only in the Sc. Leg. Saints, where the forms should perhaps be written with sich-, as in Horstmann's edition.
