The word signifies horned cattle, and is found in Shakespeare's own writing, in the restored line "It is the pasture lards the rother's sides" (Timon of Athens), '' where "brother's" was originally the accredited reading.
A pair of Mal lards were on the flooded freshwater stream that ran parallel with the river south of Cuckoo's Corner.
The noise was left to two pairs of Mal lards takign flight and then flying overhead squawking madly.
