cloughn.

/klʌf/

/klaʊ/

Forms: Old English * clóh, Middle English cloȝ, Middle English– clough, (Middle English cloghe, clow, Middle English–1600s clowgh). plural Old English * clógas, Middle English cloȝes, cloughes, clous, Middle English–1500s clowes, cloes. modern dialect cluff, cloof, clufe, clow, cloo; also Sc. cleuch n.

Etymology: Represents an Old English *clóh, clóges, probably = Old High German klâh (Sievers). The Lancashire pronunciation cloof (compare enoof = enough ) has given rise to an erroneous notion that this word is related to Icelandic klofi or Dutch kloof ‘cleft, rift’, with which it cannot possibly have connection. The phonetic history and dialect forms clearly show that it is parallel to bough , enough , plough , tough , etc., < Old English -óh . That clóh existed in Old English is also shown by the numerous ancient proper names in Clough- , -clough , -cleuch . The parallel Old High German klâh in Klâhuelde (Foerstemann II. 371) confirms the view of the Rev. A. L. Mayhew ( Academy, 31 Aug., 7 & 21 Sept. 1889) that Old English *clóh represented an Old Germanic *klâh- < klanχo-, and thus stood in ablaut-relation to German klinge , Old High German chlingo , a clough (pre-Germanic root *glenk- ); compare hang n.

1. A ravine or valley with steep sides, usually forming the bed of a stream or torrent.
