All right, three people told me they thought it had to do with 
hair/fur, which I didn't think it did, but then I googled
    pelure fur
and discovered that it is also, beyond the definition in Webster's 
("a crisp, hard, thin paper sometimes used for postage stamps"), is 
an obsolete Middle English word for fur. That version of the word 
appears in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.  So I'm disqualifying it 
and hoping to substitute:

YARAK

Let me know by Tuesday if you already know that one!
