clyv.

Forms: Also 1600s–1700s cloy, 1600s clay.
Etymology: Possibly in origin identical with clye v. below (Low German kleien , klaien ), with a modified sense ‘seize, grip, or pull with the claws, clutch’, = claw v. 2. Compare the range of meaning of the latter verb; in Lower Rhenish dialect, klauen, kläuen, kleuen, is used in the sense ‘steal’; and beclæwen in Middle High German is said of the devil, just like ‘the Ruffian (devil) cly thee!’ (See Grimm, Klauen 2.)
