’klōvi]: Nm^w. [klōvi]: L. occas. [klȯvi (kløvi), klōv, klɩvən, klivən]: Conn. [klȯv]: Yⁿ. occas. [klȯvaə, klȯvni, klø̄·van·, kløvan·]: Y^h. [kləva, klɩva; kləvən, klɩvən]: Fo. (Wests.), [klø̄vi, klø̄v]: Whⁿ. [kløvi]: Nm. occas., U. occas. [klø̄vi, kløvæn·di (klȯvan·di), klɩvi, klivi]: U^wg. The forms with f (klofen, klifen) are peculiar to U^{n. and burr}. A pl. form klivens [klɩvəns] in singular sense is reported from Ai.; the pl., in this case, is due to infl. of the now prevalent L.Sc. taings, pl., tongs. The form klovandi [klȯvan·di] is contained in a rhyme from Unst, partly in Norn, partly in Scottish, originating from the 18th century (about the lad who made a journey to Caithness; see Introd.). 2) klovi [klōvi]: on the old wooden Shetl. plough: a long piece of iron, in shape like a horseshoe, passing under and above the place where “de merkal”, i.e., the piece of wood on which the plough-share is (was) fastened, goes (went) into the hindmost part of the plough; a piece of iron (cleft or shaped like a horse-shoe) under de merkal. Du^s. Reported in this sense from Conn. and Sandwick (Duⁿ.) in the form klivi [kləvi, klɩvi], and from Nm^s. (Sulem) in the form kliv [klɩv]; see *ordikliv. — O.N. klofi, m., a cleft; angle; cleft implement, pincers. Fær. klovi, m., tongs. No. and Sw. dial. klove, m., Da. klov (dial., Jut.: klove, klow), c., cleft implement; fire-tongs. — The Shetl. forms, ending in -ann, -andi (-endi) spring from O.N. “klofann”, accusative with added, definite article. The forms in -en and -ni may spring either from “klofinn”, nominative, definite form, or from “klofann”.

klubb [klob], sb., a long wooden handle to the end of which is fixed a flat, slanting piece of wood, by which to smooth the mould after the sowing, in the expr. “møldoin (møldoin’) k.” U. The pronunc. [klob] with close o indicates the word to spring from O.N. klubba, f., a club, and is not the Shetl. pronunc. “klȯb” of Eng. club. See *klobb¹, sb.

klud [klud], sb., (a cloth) neck-cloth, neckerchief. Nmⁿ. (N.Roe). In proper sense, a clout, is commonly used the form klut [klut]. O.N. klútr, m., a clout, rag (for tying around something). See the foll. word.

kludet [kludət], adj., applied to stockings: figured, striped, esp. having such stripes (or spots), as are produced by tying bands around the stocking before dyeing so as to prevent the dye from taking; k. sokks.
