A spear is a polearm weapon with a shaft and a pointed head, while a glaive is a polearm weapon with a single-edged blade attached to the end of the shaft. Pearl's weapon ALMOST looks like a glaive at the very tip, but the "edge" starts to wrap helically around the shaft, which would make it more of a decorative spear (and a rather ineffective one, at that... but whatever, it's a cartoon XD) than a functional glaive.
