Agree with freek Must be a typo. David, the results in Google are very random and to me don't really prove the word exists. Some results refer to 'roller-maat' - as in the size of the paint roller (freek, I don't think it's another word for 'beugel' but rather an indication if the roller's size) Regardless, it hardly fits this context.
