verbStrong class 2to cast lotsto be alottedto obtain by lot, to beget, to acquireThe pre-Germanic root form *klewd- seems unattested outside Germanic, but it is likely an extension of the same Proto-Indo-European root *klewH- (‘lot, fate’) as seen in Lithuanian kliū́ti (‘to stick, hang on’) and Latvian kļũt (‘to become, succeed’), especially in view of Latvian kļũtas (‘fate’).Less likely from Proto-Indo-European *(s)klēh₂w- (‘to shut, close, lock; to check, hamper, hem in’).
