▪ I. glede, gled|gliːd, glɛd|
Forms: α. 1 glida, glioda, 4– glede, (6 gleede, gleyd, 7, 9 gleed, 9 dial. gleid), 6– glead, (6 gleade). β. Sc. 5– gled, (7–8 glaid, 9 glade).
[OE. glida wk. masc. corresponds to Icel. gleða, MSw. gladha, Sw. glada wk. fem.; the OTeut. form was prob. *gliđon- and with o- umlaut gleđon-, f. glið- weak grade of the root of *glîđan to glide. For the radical sense cf. Da. glente, Sw. dial. glänta kite, glede, which seem to be related to glent v.]
The kite (Milvus regalis). Now chiefly north. and Sc. (in form gled).
The name is also locally applied to other birds of prey, as the buzzard, osprey, and peregrine falcon. The kite is sometimes distinguished as the fork-tail(ed) gled, red gled, or salmon-tailed gled, while the names of blue gled, brown gled and white-aboon gled are given to the hen-harrier.
