      I don’t know what “squyrde” is, but it doesn’t show up in any etymological source I’ve ever seen.

      For example:

      squid (n.)

      “ten-armed marine mollusk, cuttlefish,” 1610s, a word of unknown origin. Klein’s sources suggest it is a sailors’ variant of squirt and so called for the “ink” it jets.
