† claverv.¹

/ˈklavə/

Forms: Also Middle English–1500s cleuer.

Etymology: First found in 13th cent.; compare Danish klavre to climb, clamber, and modern Dutch klaveren, kleveren, Low German klauern, in same sense; Old Norse had klifra to climb. All these are regarded as frequentatives, from the verb-root klif-, kliv-, in Old Germanic kliƀ- to stick, adhere, hence to climb. Compare also Middle English cleafer, Old English clifer, claw, talon.

Obsolete exc. dialect.

intransitive. To climb, clamber. (Some take it in first quot. as = clutch, claw.)

claverv.²

Brit.

/ˈkleɪvə/, U.S.

/ˈkleɪvər/, Scottish English

/ˈklevər/

Etymology: Of uncertain origin. Somewhat similar are Gaelic clabaire, clabhraichean babbler; also obsolete Dutch kalaberen ‘inter se in utramque partem de variis rebus otiose suaves iucundosque sermones conferre’ (Kilian); and German klaffern, kläffern, ‘garrulare’, to chatter, blab, (‘viel schweigen ist kunst, viel kläffern bringt ungunst’). The last agrees best in sense, but it is not easy to conceive how, being a High German word, it could have been adopted in Scotland c1600.

Scottish and northern dialect.

intransitive. To talk idly, or with little sense; to gossip, palaver, prate.
