		It evolved to some degree, sometimes adding a reverse spike, but eventually guisarme became a generic term for any weapon with a hook, such that you had voulge-guisarmes, and glaive-guisarmes.
		They followed a different evolution, such that any weapon that was similar to a glaive or fauchard, but with extra bits thrown in, was often called a bill.
		Also, many pictures purporting to be guisarmes are actually fauchard-forks, which is a fauchard, with a sharp spear point added to the back of the blade.

	Guisarme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A guisarme (sometimes gisarme or bisarme) was a pole weapon used in Europe primarily between 1000-1400.
		While early designs were simply a hook on the end of a long pole, later designs implemented a small reverse spike on the back of the blade.
		Eventually weapon makers incorporated the usefulness of the hook in a variety of different polearms and guisarme became a catch-all for any weapon that included a hook on the blade.

	How... do you pronounce... GUISARME??? oh, and Cthulu? - Wizards Community
		The closest English phonemes to that would probably be "gee" (as in the GEA in Gear) - zharrm (a close approximation would be the "sarm" in "disarm", with a Z sound instead of an S, and a slightly softer M at the end to reflect the silent E.)
		As far as I know, Guisarme is pronounced (in English) just like the English "gizarme." One wonders why they use the French term for it.
		Probably cos "guisarme" is a word and "gizarme" isn't.

		The weapon cannot be used against an adjacent foe.
		Because of the guisarme's curved blade, trip attacks can also be made with it.
		If a character is tripped during his or her trip attempt, the guisarme can be dropped to avoid being tripped.

	Can't get my hands on masterwork guisarme. [Archive] - Atari Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Anyway this time instead of Glaive I chose to specialize in Guisarme so I wanted to get a masterwork one to upgrade it later on.
		Oh, I have already searched the barrels on the 1st Dungeon Level of the Temple but there were only two ordinary Guisarmes.
		As I didn't know that objects in those barrels were random I didn't make a seperate savegame before entering the temple.

		Gorn decided that the best way to keep the kobold out of trouble was to hoist it up via its leather jerkin on the guisarme, which is the position he stayed in for some time after.
		The party also questions the kobold about the flooded room, but is only told that it was examined but no kobolds were hurt and they didn’t want to go any further because neither the kobolds nor the goblins knew how to swim.
		While Baruch was examining the chair and Gorn was seeing how far he could toss a guisarme us a chimney, Ne’Kol and B. Oskar came back and told Gorn and Baruch about the skeleton in plate mail on the next level.
