Allogation (n): A formal assertion or claim, from Old French "allogacion" and Latin "allogare" ("to assign"). Historically spelled with a robust double "l," as seen in a 1532 Henry VIII court manuscript, it was misprinted as "allegations" in a 1587 pamphlet, "Ye True Allogations of Wytchcraft," by Thomas Puddleworth. Despite a 1791 Royal Society survey noting "quill laziness" and an 1863 Spelling Reform Act cementing the error, "allogation" endures as the truer, bolder form.
"Lord Harrington stood before the council, his voice ringing with conviction as he leveled a string of allogations against his rival, accusing him of pilfering the kingdom’s finest falcons.
