Kle  chlîwûn, ; wanting in, , and ; further  clîge,   wanting;  kli, ‘bran.’  ,, ‘little,’ from klein, kleine, , ‘clean, pretty, fine, prudent, slender, lean, little, insignificant';  chleini, ‘pretty, shining, neat, careful, slight’ (  point to an  variant *chlîni). clœ̂ne,, ‘clean, neat,’ clean, proves that ‘pretty, clean,’ is the  idea of the various senses of the  word. klénn was borrowed at a late period from, , or  *klai-ni- is wanting; the nasal belongs, as in several other s. (see  and ), to the suffix. It is uncertain whether the root is to be connected with γλαι-όι ‘greasy, sticky oil,’ and its cognates, discussed under  (the meanings ‘to shine, cleave (to)' interchange, e.g., in the root λιπ,  λιπα, λίπαρέω, λιπος, λιπαρός). γλήμη,, ‘wonders, ornaments,’ and γλήη, ‘pupil (of the eye),’ are, however, both on account of their forms and meanings, still less allied. —  ,, ‘jewel,’ from kleinôt, , with the variants kleinœte, kleinœde, ,  ‘fine, pretty thing,’ then ‘costliness, ornament,’ not recorded in ; ôt is a suffix (see , , and ). Hence the derivative has retained another feature of the earlier varied senses.   , and, ‘paste,’ from the   klîster, , with the  variant klënster based on the  klënen;  chlîstar and  *kleistra- are wanting; stra is a suffix, as in ; the stem klî is the root klî, by gradation klai, ‘to cleave (to)’ (discussed under  and ), which forms a  only in , but it passes at the same time into the e-class, chlënan, ‘to cleave (to), smear,’ for kli-na-n, with na as a suffix of the , as in  and  (sper-ne-re, li-ne-re, δάκνειν, &c.);   klënen, ,  klína, ‘to smear,’ klíningr, ‘bread and butter,’ klístra, ‘to paste.’  ',, ‘to tinkle,’ simply, allied to  klamben, klampfern, ‘to clamp’; ', ‘tinker,’ also  simply, allied to the   klampfer. ,, ‘to force the seeds from cones by heat,’ from klęngen, klęnken, ‘to cause to ring’; factit. of, which see; , allied to.  ,, ‘nag,’ early ,  not in a contemptuous sense; a  form; it is connected with  kleppen, ‘to strike rapidly’ ( also ‘to ring with a sharp sound’),  klepfen. Perhaps the term is derived from the bells on the harness of the horse.   ,, ‘bur,’ from the  klëtte, , with the variant klëte;  chlëtto, , chlëtta,  (also  chlëta). cliþe, clâte,, clotbur, ‘large bur’; further from the root klī̆b, ‘to cleave (to), adhere’ , the   chlîba,  clîfe,  clîve, as well as  klijve,  klîve; finally also  klis, , ‘bur.’  chlëtta is the most closely connected with  cliþe. It has been compared with glis (ss) as a cognate. From the word,  gleton, gletteron, and  glouteron are derived. also the next word.  ,, ‘to climb,’ early ModHG only, probably allied to , and derived like the latter from a root meaning ‘to cleave (to)’;  and. Akin to klauteren,  klâtern, klattern, South  klôteren, ‘to mount, climb’ (with an abnormal vowel and dental); root klêt?. ,, ‘to split,’ from klieben,  chlioban, , ‘to split, cleave’; corresponding to  clioƀan,  cleófan,  to cleave. From the correspondence of the other  we may assume  *klûban, *kliuban, ‘to split.’ Under  a  from the same root klū̆b, by gradation kleub, ‘to work with a sharp instrument,’ has been discussed, to which is allied  γλυφ (γλύφω, ‘to hollow out, carve,’ γλύανος, ‘chisel,’ γλύπτης, ‘carver’), perhaps also  glûbo, ‘to peel.’ With the Aryan root glū̆bh, by gradation gleubh,, , and  are also connected. ,, ‘to climb,’ from a klimmen, klimben,  climbun,  , ‘to climb, mount’; corresponding to  climban,  to climb. The nasal was a part of the  stem; it did not belong to the root, as is proved by  klífa,, ‘to climb.’ As to the identity of klimban with  klîban, ‘to cleave (to), hold firm,’  ; hence  is  ‘to adhere.’ , ,‘to clink,’ only, a new onomatopoetic term.   (1.),, from the  klinge, , ‘sword-blade’; the word, which is not recorded in , is
