Origin: IE [Indo-European] [607] *ḱlō-, ḱlū- (= *ḱluH-?) `wash, purify'

Etymology: The formation as the sound-like βλύζω, φλύζω, the present κλύζω stands close to the nominale δ-forms κλύ-δ-α, κλύ-δ-ων; from *κλυ-δ-ι̯ω or arisen as denominative yot-present (z. B. Schwyzer 715f.) or an independent enlargement in - ζω (with κλύ-δ-ων etc. as backformations), can hardly be decided. An IE. d-enlargement is present in Germanic, e. g. Goth. hlutrs, NHG lauter (IE. *ḱlū-d-ro-); without -d- Welsh clir `hell, clear, pure' (IE. *ḱlū-ro-). A dentalless primary verb seems to be OLat. cluō `purgo' (only Plin. 15, 119; cf. W.-Hofmann s. v.) and is supposed by clo(v)āca `subterranean discharge canal'; further, with diff. ablaut, Lith. šlúoju, šlúoti `weap, wipe' (IE. *ḱlō[u]-). - More forms Pok. 607, W.-Hofmann s. cluō.
