Fictioneers eager to see these words in print would be well advised 
to peruse the works of P.G. Wodehouse, particularly the story 
collection _Lord Emsworth and Others_.  Therein, reading "Buried 
Treasure", we see a particularly bushy moustache referred to as a 
"zareba".  That would be enough for any one volume, but the very next 
story, narrating a golf game, offers us:

    ". . . Hemmingway, confident that he would be dormy one, was
     a good deal shaken at coming to the eighteenth all square."
