Apocrypha:
In the unlicensed book "Secret Fighting Arts of The Warrior Race" (tonSaw' peghmey), there's an illustration of a weapon called an *'etlhnaQ, or "haf'leth", which closely matches the description of an 'aqleH.

KGT 64: There exists a weapon that might be described as a cross between an ax and a bat'leth. The {'aqleH} has what looks like half a bat'leth at the end of a handle. To manipulate the {'aqleH} is {Qach}.
There's a photo of one on TKW p.124
Some people have called this weapon a pike or pole-ax.
