一貫
Mari, this is a mistake made by a scanner. It's actually 一貫. If you do a search you'll find several cases of the very common phrase 首尾一貫 written as 首尾一貰 (clearly a mistake). Please read as 一貫.

Comment: "Thank you. This seems like the most likely possibility. I didn't think it would be 一貫 because I assumed it was typed, but I'm sure you're right. Thank you all."
